[ale] OT: Deluxe office accommodations for the paranoid

[Lightner, Jeff]

That last reminds of the time years ago where I modified a guy's autoexec.bat to run c1s instead of cls.  The latter is the old DOS clear screen and was typically in autoexec.bat as last command.   The former made it run a file I'd created called c1s.bat which changed his prompt to "Barry can't find me".   He had told me he was as good at computers as I was but he never figured out what was setting his prompt.   I finally told him where it was when he was about to reload the OS to get rid of it.  :-)

Replace  a drawer upside down  (not always practical, but still annoying)

Rearrange the keys on a keyboard to the order of those on a telephone.

Place a small piece of tape over the earpiece of an ordinary telephone
handset.

Always keep a large capacitor charged and sitting on your  desk. People can't
resist picking it up.

My favorite though was at the request of my boss to be done to a cow orker who
spent too much time goofing off: I removed his soitare game and replaced it with
a link to his work program with the icon to Solitaire.
