nice. that was also a time when every geeky kid kinda secretly feared (or hoped) you might stumble into a system which, after login, would prompt you with:
"Welcome! Would you like to play a game of global thermonuclear war?"
and then you really would be worried you were connected to the Pentagon
I did sort of the opposite back in the very early nineties - I had my MicroVAX ID as a Norwegian DoD machine when anyone dialed it.
That netted me a few laughs as friends got confused - and a summons to see the local police a few weeks later; apparently, someone had thought it WAS indeed a DoD box, reported the security breach and the next thing my local PD knew, the security services called and asked them to tell me it was quite funny and all that - but STOP DOING IT!!!
