Kintaro:
I recently went into a "Dick Smith Electronics" store (An aussie franchise) where there was about 10 computers all running XP. They all has Internet Explorer on some page... I pointed about 6 of them to the "Whats so bad about Microsoft" article on this site! Then i just pretended to look at som DVD's and looked to see what people thought.

Some people has a good look, until the staff came and fixed it... I went to another place at the store to look at some subs, when a security gaurd told me to leave. (Damn those cameras watching the PC's)

Oh well...

Refalm:
I once redirected all the computers at school to Nathan's Internet Explorer is evil! page.

That was fun  ;)

Yea, i did that once or twice before... Im going to a LUV (Linux Users Victoria (which is a Linux user group)) Installfest where i will meet lots of people into Linux... And help lots of people get into Linux!

TheQuirk:
I put a password protected screen-saver on all the XP computers at Gateway to say "To get a real computer, go to www.apple.com. Or at least get a real OS from linuxiso.org"

I actually don't have anything against x86 - I just wanted to anger the Gateway folk.

xyle_one:
yeah, i did that at "best buy". i locked a few windows xp machines. They only had one account setup with no password, so i just created a password and restarted the machines.    
the next time i went in they had fixed their errors, all the machines had passwords. but what a pain in the ass, have to reinstall the os on all those machines. and those half witted "tech" guys at best buy couldnt change the desktop picture let alone install anything. anyways, it was fun.
