At the college I went to, they put blocks and restrictions on just about everything you could do on their computers (running Windows 2000), but they left Start / Run enabled!! Therefore, if I wanted to, literally within seconds I could've wiped out the entire contents of the computer's hard drive... all through the knowledge of a few simple DOS commands.
Macs are better, in that if they're properly set up, there really is no "back door" way to get around the security restrictions.... except if it has a floppy drive and you have a Mac OS boot disk handy! Macs are also neat because they have "Easter eggs" built into the hardware. For example, on certain models if you hold down the Interrupt button (next to the Reset button) while turning it on and then let go, it makes the sound of a car crashing!
