Wasn&amp;#x27;t nearly as educational or diplomatic but I did have fun with it until I got shut down for essentially using twice the storage in my home directory as the entire rest of the class.  Between that, usenet (of course) and trolling cuseeme reflectors all over the world from the odd smelling Mac lab, I didn&amp;#x27;t get much studying done.&lt;p&gt;Good times.</text></comment>
