I read the original article about him and phone phreaking in Esquire in college in 1971.
I have a printed copy of all the issues Phrack from decades ago. I used to subscribe to 2600, but I finally got tired of trying to keep up with everything.
I wasn't a hippie, even though I owned some double-knit bell bottoms and colorful shirts with large collars. I still have one of those wide ties that will cover most of a shirt front. I did visit the head shop a lot, as there was interesting stuff and young women.
I never used any mind-altering substance, as I knew it was a special time, and I wanted to remember every second of it. I have thousands of stories.
POTS = plain old telephone service
Industry and phone phreak terminology.
Yes, I'm old enough to remember Captain Crunch and the 2600 Hz whistle.
The original CC was the best imo. I'm stickin with my onebar brick I guess? 👍🏼

Phrack...there's a few memories. I was a 70's hippie if I remember correctly? 😂. But always loved computer science.
