Back in the early days; when the ONLY access a mere peon had to a COMPUTER! was a dumb terminal on a factory floor; I taught myself BASIC and wrote a fake login program that spoofed the REAL one and stole passwords from users.

It simulated an intermittent wiring problem that crashed the link after a login try.

When it came back up; the REAL login screen was there to use.

Just a prank; as passwords were pretty useless in that situation. I guess it gave an, “OOoooh!” factor when trying to impress the ladies...

…”You can use a COMPUTER??!!??”
