Full-quality DVDs of this and every Last HOPE panel are available at http://store.2600.com/lasthopevideos.html

In 2008 2600 is 24 years old, the computer bulletin board system is a 30 year relic, and a good number of attendees of HOPE were not born when some events of the "modern" era of computers and hacking began. Historian Jason Scott of textfiles.com presents a quick primer of a large part of the basics of hacking and phreaking history, touching on those sometimes obscure or hilarious subjects that may have escaped notice in a Web 2.0 world.

  • LAZLOW!

  • Damn interesting, accurate and funny at the same time! I suggest you watch all his 6 part talk, and then straight to the "BBS documentary" if you don't know it.

    IMHO, his activism on hystory of computing will like to become a precious resource to future generation of "hackers".

  • Only Jason Scott could dress like that anywhere and get away with it. =D
