Most of these guys had a lot of fun on Altgiers, Lutzifer, and the like boards. Fortunately my brother and I discovered a 'bridge' in late 1980 that let all the hackers worldwide talk live. It was on this 'bridge' the MoD vs LoD/ComSec war began and ended with Phiber Optik's fuxored arrest. Those that knew then knew he was a scapegoat, joining the wrong group at the wrong time.
Now while many of the guys above are probably somewhere in Suburbia enjoying 6 figures + of income a year (a couple I know make that per month...I think Kimble does that, he got really involved in the whole net growth...check out kimble.org....I decided to 'do the right thing' and persue college.
