Somebody broke into my car a while ago and they took my Alpine stereo
system, but left my cellular phone. This got me thinking about their
reasoning. The obvious reason for not taking it is that the real guts
of the thing are burried in a box with 3 Z80s in it under the back of the car.
My second thought was that they knew that it would be almost useless to them
unless they could change the number of the phone.
Is this true? COuld somebody fill me in on the background of the custom
part of the average cellular phone? Is it just a 10-byte prom with my phone
number in it?
