#N:ucbesvax:6000011:000:622 ucbesvax!turner Dec 10 11:13:00 1983 I see that InfoWorld has published an article about the change in meaning and popularization of the word "hacker" in the context of computers. (And they're on the *right* side of the issue!) I think I know how to re-instate the old meaning--someone should take the opportunity (before some "worm", anyway) to write a book called, perhaps, "Confessions of a Teen-Age Hacker", which would bear down heavily on the true meaning of the term. Or maybe it could be called "Hack Like Me", from the perspective of a journalist penetrating the arcana (a la "Soul of a Nude Machine".) --- Michael Turner (ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner)
