We were the kids who tried stuff with no manual or tutorial.

We built things that weren't possible.

We did it without permission or rules.

We pushed the boundaries and explored a new frontier.

At this point, we're 40 years into FRAC, and some of the articles have historical significance.

Yeah, I think that article solidified Frack as the coolest hacker magazine ever because the founder, Knight Lightning, or one of the early founders, got arrested for publishing that article and then fought the law and won.

And so it's like, well, I got arrested for hacking and I beat it and I got off scot-free.

And that was just such a...

such a middle finger to the establishment of like, no, we're hackers and we can beat you.

And we did beat you in your court, in your arena, in your court of law.

We still won.

We didn't do anything wrong.

Screw off and leave us alone.

And that must have been just like the most...

amazing, epic moment for the time to beat the law.

And I know there were some other frack contributors who didn't, weren't so successful with that E911 article.

They pled guilty before they could fight it.

But the fact that

That happened.
