Hackers: Computer Outlaws

I am pretty sure this show, which will undoubtedly be typical over-sensationalized Learning Channel tripe, is the one where I supplied many old computers for filming, including an Altair, Imsai, Apple ][, TRS-80, PET, etc. There may also be semi-sihouletted shots of me typing on a keyboard. It's set to air Wednesday (tomorrow) at 10pm on The Learning Channel. http://tlc.discovery.com/tuneins/hackers.html It features John Draper (a.k.a. Cap'n Crunch, a.k.a. freaky weirdo whom you should cross the street to avoid), Steve Wozniak, and Kevin Mitnick. Why Woz is included in this group is not entirely clear, but the producers of the show are British, so that could explain things :) It has a lot to do with the blue box of course, but Kevin Mitnick is a criminal thug, and Woz is just Woz. TLC used to be a great channel to actually LEARN stuff on. But I think I know enough about high-speed chases and asshole cops already. Can we move on to another subject, please? As great as it is, Junkyard Wars doesn't redeem the channel. All the cool stuff is on The History Channel these days :) Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org
