This has been bugging me for days, so I'm going to ask:

How does something (anything) you do to a friend's computer have anything to 
do with the district Tech Director, or the school system in general for that 
matter?  I assume that your friend's computer was owned by them, and not by 
the school system??  Therefore it should have nothing to do with anyone else 
except you and them.  You were presumably acting as a private citizen, and 
not in any kind of 'official' capacity.  I just don't get this at all.  Am I 
missing something here?

Cheers,

Rasjid.
