When I was in high school (we had an HP 3000), if you could hack MPE
and "steal" operator or supervisor privileges then, provided that you
didn't do anything terrible with them, you could keep them. And you
often got recruited for temp operator duty. Ah... those were the
days... when every machine on the ARPANET had a guest account...
