> that annoying Windows service that let you send pop-up messages to any IP

Winpopup. I loved that tool, showed it to my entire class in school so we could comfortably cheat during exams. I was hailed as a super hacker with mad skills.

I thought it was called netsend or something. I recall somehow accidentally sending a message to everyone on our school network.

winpopup was a GUI interface, `net send` was the CLI command (with which you could indeed message an entire domain)

Same. I think it was the most impressive thing I did at school. I guess someone somewhere still uses it... http://winpopup-lan-messenger.com/
