The Dark Earth
==============

"Back in the early 80s (when I was around 12-15, I ran a board
(Pirate, definitely) called The Dark Earth, 408-429-8002 . My
handle was Cobalt-60. I took this handle in 1983, so I am by far
the most original of the later imitators. I was involved with
various phreak/crack groups, and wrote quite a few anarchy files
in my spare time. Most were, lamentably, unsigned, because I got
nervous, but there are still some out there with my original name
on them. Later on I ended up hanging out with Sam Brown, who was,
as far as I am concerned, one of the first true internet pioneers.
We used to spend a lot of time on arp a net and just basically
trying to figureout how ot do distributed computing by
leapfrogging local BBSes which were local, until a packet
eventually made it's way to it's destination. It worked pretty
well. (I know nothing of MCI access codes, however. J) Anyway, I
found myself reminiscing, and thought I would drop a line, and
demand recognition OR WE'LL CRUSH YOUR SKULL!! K" - Leo LeBarre
