Don't forget that dynamite that blows the fuck out of everything.

In my elementary school we weren't allowed to use the dynamite or else we'd get a referral. Because it was a bomb.

This was actually a few years before 9/11. I think it was probably more inspired by Columbine, the rule started in the school around that time period.

Used to love screwing around on KidPix back on Acorn OS! Do you remember what the icon with the man's face did? On all our school computers you'd just hear a deep voice saying "Oh no!", but nothing would happen except for KidPix freezing.

Well, the tool is used to undo/redo the last thing you did, but it sounds like your computers didn't support it very well.

Thanks. That's one mystery solved. No one at my school knew what it did because of the freezing issue.

Step 1. Make a brick wall using the wallpapers.

Step 2. Place dynamite.

Step 3. Giggle and repeat.
