                You mean like...running the program on your own machine? We can already do that... ;P

                  That used to be a favorite prank: take a screen shot of an application, make it someone's desktop, and then watch while they try and force it to exit.

                  I did that on a computer in high school. Took the student and the programming teacher half an hour to figure it out. :laugh:

                    Actually, to clarify, I didn't take a screenshot of an application. I took a screenshot of the desktop with all its icons, then moved all the icons into a single folder, and set the screenshot as the background.

                      Or when a research scientist (chemist) rings you up to take a look at her PC because it's broke only to find out she's been clicking on the link in a screen dump stuck on an email and it's not working. Oh, and I'm not the IT staff, I'm just a research engineer in the software group and therefore I must know everything about computers, and have the duty to fix everybody else's PCs... :~

                      Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

                          This might be one of the best computer pranks I have heard of... :laugh:
