Just fun and probably something to do with the new toy the district bought to do attendance. It had ZERO security... I changed the program to kick out my name and not report me if my attendance card was turned in and proved it to the office that I could cut classes all I wanted with my modification to the program.... then promised to fix it! Back in 1974/75... most people had no idea what computers were or could do.
