OBONGO SUCKSOBONGO SUCKSOBONGO SUCKSOBONGO SUCKS...

Nice. I got suspended in the 6th grade decades ago for that exact scenario. Us lucky kids got to use a terminal hooked up to Stanford...my printout was of a four letter word that ran on for about 8 feet of paper before the teacher saw it.

Heh! I remember one time, one of my friends went to a display computer with a voice synthesizer at a store. He changed the program to say at 12:00 from "Good afternoon" to "Oh sh#$, it's noon!" This must have been back in 1983 or so. I remember then as well, we used the biology department's Apple ][+'s where we played around with the SAM speech synthesizer program. I got the popular psychological program Eliza to work with the SAM program as well as a random insult generator. We also had a setup where we can hook up a monitoring system to the Apple to monitor things like heart rate and oxygen levels much like hospitals do today. My mother was in the hospital several times prior to passing away from her cancer 3 months ago and I remember then having those probes on her fingers and I commented, "we did that way back in 1983!"

BTW, I remember on out TI's, my friend and I wrote a program that went down the screen in a sine wave, "E.T. has V.D." but again, this was 1982/83. B-) I got a TI for Christmas of 1982 so he had to get one.
