Re: I know it's unlikely
I once hired a co-op and one day she came to me and said that there was something wrong with her X-terminal. I went and looked and saw a small rectangle in the upper left corner of the screen. Every 30 seconds a flying saucer would be launched from this box and chase down the cursor. When it caught the cursor, it would drag the cursor back to its base. You could evade the flying saucer because it was slow but until it succeeded in dragging the cursor back to its base the flying saucer continued to harass you.
I laughed and looked around and spotted some smirking co-ops - I told them to to turn off their fun prank. The X protocols weren't very secure in those days.
