I wrote a program to repeatedly open and close the mechanical CD/DVD drive and put it in the startup folder.

Aside from the computer/s mentioned above, my school was an Apple school. I got around filters by ssh'ing into my homecomputer with XForwarding.

A friend of mine installed the Halo demo on the school computers.

In middle school our one class played this computer game that was similar to SimCity, but wasn't. I found out the save files could just be edited in plain text. So I cheated. I never was very good at SimCity.

Not messing with anything, but I was learning Python in HS and I went to python.com. At the time it was NOT about the programming language. And it wasn't blocked. That was a shock sitting in the school library.

I think I actually did a similar thing to your dvd drive script, but our school computers were too locked down to have it run on startup

They were pretty much all just thin clients going into one central server anyway I think
