    i think he means he took them out at the end of the day or something, but had the computers set so they could only boot from the CD, which there wasn't one in there anymore, therefore the computers would no longer boot.

    If you know latin, you will know that viri is the plural of vir.

    Virus has no plural in latin.

    I took them out after I shut off the computers
    NO ONE in my school knows how to switch what it boots from in the BIOS....

    I just do a temporary boot with the computers at my school.
    The computer illiteracy inherent in my district's BOE would get me expelled if I was found looking at the BIOS.

    I can act...

    (they didn't find who did it, though the IT guy somehow knew it was me, just didn't have proof)

    Another thing, which is simpler, is that most older computers are set to boot from floppys then the hd, so pop in blank floppys and whala, a non booting computer, I've done that one before too.

    Or you could just stop this Latin nonsense and just settle by calling Windows a "viral laden OS".

    My words would be:
    Code:
    Windows is a viral, tottering empire, and a laden laggard too!
    That should prevent most confusion...
