I went downtown in search of those but only found the non-electronic version. Then I saw some people in Guy Fawkes masks protesting the local Scientology org across the street and joined them for a couple of hours. We later had waffles, it was a good time.

Besides a nifty digital cover, is there anything even in the book worth reading? I'll pick up a copy of the magazine if it talks about technology it self beyond the simple scope of adding the ability to do childish trinkets of giving the magazine a flashing cover.

Other wise I'll just hunt down a few issues and start selling them on Ebay in a few months. It can't be that hard at all to replace the batteries in the books without too much noticeable damage going on.

I'm more interested in the technology that things like this will hopefully make possible in the near future. I'm thinking a more advanced one with higher resolution graphics and colour, combined with those flexible plastic circuit boards they put in disposable cameras could be cool. A flash drive could provide storage space.

I looked through Esquire today and it's really boring.  Their flashy cover got me to buy a lot of copies, but it didn't make me actually like their magazine.   blogs > magazines

They still did a great job in the 70's with Secrets of
the Little Blue Box
, though.  If you haven't read that yet, then drop everything you're doing and read it now.

You lived back then, Arbie. Why couldn't you have done something like that? Then you would have been super rich and you could have taken us all out for ice cream every Saturday. But nooooo, you just had to waste your time harassing Chris Tompkinson and stealing 7-11 fortune telling machines. Thanks a heap!

Oh, and interesting article, by the way.

Yeah he'd be super rich, or a toothless old crazy ex-con like Captain Crunch. Not that I've met the guy, he could be really cool.

A toothless ol' blind man, like joybubbles.

Then again looking at Cap'n's picture, he has a bitching old man beard.

Wouldn't Arbie have had to have been molested to be crazy like Joybubbles?

Of if you're a young looking boy who doesn't smoke cigarettes, you can approach JD at any hacker con and he'd love to tell you all about his phone phreaking adventures while giving you an energy release massage. I'm serious about this.

Yeah that's what I was getting at, but I had nothing in the way of evidence so I figured I should stfu for the time being.
