I remember downloading and running random EXEs on my school’s NT4 machines.
There was a few joke programs, the one I remember right now, would make the start button jump around on the screen.
This was also around the time we all got on MSN Messenger, but us cool kids used an alternative client, Trillian, or
later, Miranda IM.
A clear favorite of the time was the demo versions of Unreal Tournament 99 and Return To Castle Wolfenstein, both was easily installed, ran decent on the computer and had LAN multiplayer, there were a few impromptu LAN parties after school…
Later in my education I attended a trade school where I took networking classes.
Someone had snuck in a copy of Age Of Empires 2 on all machines in the lab, so we spent the days setting up a network, and after school was over, we gamed on it.

Brilliant fun!
