“A friend of mine told me that when he was in junior
high school (mid-to-late nineties), they got a computer in the
classroom free for the students to use during breaks. The first
thing many of them would do to was to change the dull Windows 95
desktop. The school’s IT Manager for some reason thought of this as
vandalism, so he frequently fixed it in the only way he knew how —
by reinstalling Windows.

“I was almost on the floor laughing when my friend told me about
how the IT Manager had come into their classroom one day and told
the students, “Will you STOP changing the desktop background? I’ve
had to reinstall Windows every day for the last two weeks
now!””
