Yes, I'm in high school. Work in California? Not sure - what are you doing
out there? What I'm really good at is telling Unix what to do.

I also know I'm 4th generation hacker. My friend Jeff is not too far behind me.
As far as I KNOW, we may be the last 2. Giving allowances, there may be 5 or
10 REAL hackers left. It's somewhat depressing to be the last of something...
but if I can find someone before I leave here (Illinois) and show him the
correct way to go, maybe I can create another...

The name hacker has been dragged through the mud for far too long. There's
almost no real record of the 1st and 2nd generation hacks. (1st were the hacks at MIT. 2nd were those at Berkeley and elsewhere, who adjusted the Hacker
Ethic to allow for making money. 3rd are the present-day warez loosers.
[They're here for refrence. Technically, they don't count]) All that survives
to the actual public is the image of some cybernerd on drugs with wild hair
maliciously attacking big companies just to be a punk. My brother hates
computers, and he's closer to THAT description than I am.

Of course, I'm still not as good as the 1st-gen guys. I can't solder any good,
I have nearly no idea how to wire-wrap or use a slide rule, and I can't do
number conversion in my head yet. I'm not very good at math. (I can do it
with a calculator, but I tend to drop numbers left and right with big variables)
I still have some to go...
