Me too. One time I messed with my friend by adding a conditional to complement every name except his.

10 PRINT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME"; 20 INPUT NAME$ 30 IF NAME$ = "BILL" THEN 40 PRINT NAME$+" SOUNDS LIKE A NAME FOR A DORK!" 50 ELSE 60 PRINT NAME$+" SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT NAME!" 70 END IF

I also tried to prank people with a program I wrote that mimicked a BSOD, but I couldn't get anyone to fall for it.

PS- No hard feelings between me and NAME$, one of the few high school friends I still spend time with. He still remembers the program and laughs.

Formatted version (HN supports code sections by indenting 4 spaces):

    10 PRINT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME";
    20 INPUT NAME$
    30 IF NAME$ = "BILL" THEN
    40 PRINT NAME$+" SOUNDS LIKE A NAME FOR A DORK!"
    50 ELSE
    60 PRINT NAME$+" SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT NAME!"
    70 END IF

Ooh, didn't know about the newlines not printing as typed. Thanks for the tip!
