That's the spirit, just curious.  I teach and it is fun to have 
material to relieve the boredom.

Hopefully, the statute of limitations has run out on us all 8->

Yo Jan!

I got to Brown University in 1971.  By then there were already many tales of
people hacking the university mainframe in the lat '60s.

So you are going to have to go WAY back.

My HS had a Model 33 teletype that we could use to dial to a local
university mainframe.  In 1968 I tricked a GE time share guy giving demos at
a mall to show me his dial-in number, username and password. With that we
ran up the HS long distance bill for months playing with the fancy GE
mainframe.

For all you oldies and newbies anyone know of an
older student or other hack?  Back in Sept. 1970
we as Waukesha HS students got in a teletype, modem and
had access to BASIC, I mean BASIC.  We were allowed
2 hours computer time. And of course one of us
"wise group of birds" David Ferrie, found out how to change the system 
time, so we could program all day.

Anyone know of an older hack, just for the Guiness Book
of Records?
