These Phone Phreakers could whistle the two-toned dialing codes by themselves, so they built devices called "Blue Boxes" that reproduced the tones.

Various clubs grew up around guys who did this, one was Homebrew Computer Club in California. Two members of the club had already made a name for themselves as manufacturers of 'blue boxes'. Their handles were Berkeley Blue (Steve Jobs) and Oak Toebark (Steve Wozniak), the founders of Apple Computers.

Nah, I've got some Sicilian friends in dark suits and very narrow ties to take care of that sort of thing...

I keep imaging the Dutch hero in your avatar going around (in a very Monty Pythonish style) saying Zoing, Zoing, Zoing.


But does he do it with a Dutch, I'm sorry, Danish accent?

At least I am in good company.

Robert, I think you are the only regular here not to make the list. You will have to work harder. Try telling him that Denmark is in Africa. He loves that!
