10/12 OK, quick poll to see how many motd-readin' CSUAers were warez
kiddies at one point (Ever call a ware 0-day? Ever ask for elyt xs?
Or ever use leech zmodem? Don't be embarassed, you were 12!):
Yes ....
No .
\_ Does using your Apple][ to dial numbers to get free long distance
count? If so, count me in.
\_ Back when I was a kid, software was free or we had to write it
ourselves.
\_ Using ThinkC/TurboPascal on a MacSE.
\_ For me, using (floating-point) BASIC and machine code on
Apple ][+. -- yuen
\_ Actually my first computer was a TI 99/4A. I wrote
programs on it in basic and saved them to audio
tape. I used to be able to skip to exact programs
on a 45 min tape by listening to the sound made
when fast forwarding (it changes pitch as it gets
closer to the end of the tap). Those were the days.
The first computer that I had with a compiler was
the Mac SE. Damn it was a nice machine. Ran word,
pagemaker, photoshop and compilers with a 68000
and 1 MB Ram (eventually upgrade to a whopping 4).
\_ goddamn it, thats when programming was programming.
programs on modern computers may do more, but there
was a satisfaction in entering a whole program in
hex and having the thing work that can never be
matched with a compiler. -apple ][e haX0r
\_ Toggling in the entire OS on the front panel
of the computer a la Seymour Cray is *satisfaction*.
\_ yup, used zmodem.
\_ hmodem with simultaneous up/download with 4k chunks on
my 14.4 when everyone else is crawling at 2400...
\_ Used zmodem too, but not for warez.
\_ super zmodem with simultaneous tetris and hot/gay chat
\_ Using softICE to crack your momma's pussy.
\_ don't you mean yermom
\_ or yo mama
\_ dewd, you must be the 700th person to get in there
\_ I'm sure that lots of us were warez h0zers. I was, back in HS.
Still, that was a long time ago... the whole scene is very
different now. |
