The Truth The two Steves that created Apple Computer Corp. were phreakers in college, that's how they got started.

They would sell their boxes to broke college kids who wanted to call home.

florescent light actually, now that i think about it,
one time when I was dating a hacker/phreaker we took one of those red phones and we went behind a business and opened their phone box and we called Hawaii.
We almost got caught by the cops.
again, that's not really how I like to get my kicks.

Dafremen Heheh you kids! Be an old school phreaker from PBX/Metrophone daze. Back when you could write a wardialer to hack out LONG DISTANCE ACCESS CODES while you were asleep. Sigh...the safety net that was youth. Sometimes I long for those days. (We didn't have tone dial so I soldered a plug to my modem's modulator output and attached the plug to my TV's earphone port to get tone dial. Commodore VIC-20 and a VICMODEM. 010723
