Geez - I didnt get into my wayback machine cause I remember very well when the term hacker meant something else - and very little to do with computers other that the fact that the guys that adopted the term were geeks working in the comp lab up at MIT. Back then it was breaking into locks, getting past security and playing pranks which never harmed anyone - and the friggin net was even around back then - just didnt have any public attention thank goodness - just something we used at school for projects when the military would let us on and our connections would work
