john,
my apologies.
i don't know how old you are, but back then, there was no distinctions.
today's "cracker" was yesterday's "hacker".
nobody ever asked me whether i wanted the word to change meaning. i
would've prefered if the revisionists would've chosen a word other than
hacker to usurp.
i'll try to change my lingo in the future.
