I'd beg to argue that hackers of this type had very little to nothing to do with technologies that shaped the industry and the internet.

I guess it was showing so much initiative so early which was important, not really what he actually did & also to be fair, maybe not so many could have done the same or even thought of it.

I suppose it depends on the exact definition of "hacker". What I'm saying is that I don't look up to folks that break the law. And just because someone was able to break into a computer system doesn't mean they are smart in any way shape or form. Of course they might be but thats not the point.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, Tim. I think that
without the early hackers, we probably wouldn't have many of the
technologies and services we take for granted today -- including much
of the Internet.

I don't look up to hackers. Quite the opposite really. http://www.kosmo.com/blogs/techno/?p=384
