You did them a favour really...
Write a script to create an neverending amount of files. Piratinh games. Trick teachers into giving us their passwords. I could go on...
We never had school computers :(
I had GLTron and Pocket Tanks installed on a flash drive, so my friends and I would just play games whenever we had free time.
I also found a couple fun network based utilities in Windows, and all the computers in the district were on the same network. I was messing with NetSpend one day and managed to accidentally send a message to every computer in the school, which then all promptly crashed for some reason.
I also had fun messing with the netchat application. My mom worked at another school in the district, and one time I arranged for her to open netchat at a specific time while I was in computer lab, so I could connect to her computer from a lab computer and we could chat back and forth.
All of the other people here have such cool stories to share, while I am here, who just changed the default browser of a few computers...
