You can turn that thing off with one of those Apple Newton handhelds. OK, I just made that up. It's best to think, "WWMD*"?

i have a fond high school memory of using an apple newton to make long distance phone calls from a payphone until an operator broke into one of the calls, scaring me and my friends absolutely shitless. we we're sure shit was going down, sneakers stizz.

did i just type stizz? shoot me now morland.

I'll just start calling you dr. grambo.

I too had a short-lived but intense "phreaking" phase. I once pieced together a "beige box" to phone Hong Kong (seriously). Of course, I had to lay prone on someone else's lawn in the middle of the night to do it. We'll file that under "embarrassingly dorky and highly illegal past exploits morland chalks up to wayward youth with its tempting legal veil of being a minor and tries never to talk about unless it's very topically relevant".

You guys are fucking dorks.

Well, morland. That beige box thing was before I knew you. Oh wait, I did know you then. That was before you and rob and alex (x2) initiated me into your elite club by showing me your secret handshake, also known as 'the cold fish'.

COLD FISH!
