He ended up getting suspended for that. Later he got too cocky and logged in to change grades and got expelled..duh.

I'm 27 now. Getting suspended for fucking up the school networks was routine back then. I actually found my way into the BBS as an admin after being banned for dumping cut+paste physics lectures into the "gifted and talented forum". Was just something that fell into my lap. In grade 10 they decided to give me my own office (was really just a cleared out storage room after the music program got closed) and 8 computers, trucked in tons of network hardware, licensed me a copy of Novell Netware and turned me loose with a 40 minute block every day to play with it as I saw fit. I spent most of that time getting baked and drinking beer in my "office" while playing Oregon Trail. I usually had a good buzz on by the time art class rolled around...
