Le Carre on the book shelf ;) And yes, this guy could see into the future. I remember 1979 when hacking was fun and not illegal (which made it kind of legal). Hacking back then was mostly done with, what later became known as a wargame dialer. We used a Luxor ABC80, a 300 baud acoustic modem, a terminal program and once you found the phone number of a modem, there were no passwords :) Only problem was, that we didn't realize the phone bill for the modem until 3 months later. Doh...
Heh! This is the chap I was talking about in one of other Computer Programme clips, and the very same topic too. Wouldn't see a piece-to-camera like that now, with a cigarette smoking away in the subject's hand.
