...you're missing out. I just saw these today when they were featured on the home page. All I have to say is WOW! Very nice!

Everyone should check these out

P.S. I might have to take issue with the description in the album saying that Worldwidedx.com is a "CB Forum", though. We're a RADIO forum that doesn't discriminate!

You are thinking about this guy, John Draper.

Yep, that crazy old man looks more familiar.


I met/talked/worked with him at a SANs convention many years ago.

Crazy yes. Stupid no. I saw a show about him a while back. He is the original phreak freak. He actually used to impersonate telco repair linemen in order to get the operators to switch circuits for him.

Social engineering is something you or I can do. I don’t consider that very hard. Some of it is just having the balls/confidence/get out of jail free card, to try something knowing that you will get caught sooner or later. I don’t consider him smart for his social engineering skills.

I consider him incredibly smart/brilliant maybe a genius for everything else he did and at the same time it was a little sad. I want to say that he was so smart he couldn’t communicate with others or be a normal person. Additionally at the time I knew him, he was a little off. I am not sure if it was drugs, after affect of drugs, or if he was a little nuts. I was hoping to hear that he was a HAM and doing well, but alas I did a little more reading since my last post. He is not doing well.


To this Capt n' Crunch, nice looking rigs.

In order to be brilliant, one must be a little crazy.
