I too edited gorillas as one of my first programming endeavors.
As for the other thing, there was some DOS command I learned that forced an immediate reboot. I realized this could be added to the end of an autoexec.bat and create an endless reboot loop.
Well, I thought this was a funny prank so I edited the file on a display PC at Costco. Came back by it later in the trip and it’s still booting and rebooting.
I look back on that and realize it probably had to be replaced and sent to some other state where some tech either had to troubleshoot it or create a new image all together.
Not the best use of value but it was amusing to exert power over computers at such an early age.
