I remember painting this on our schools tech room in high school (It was allowed, not vandalism). It's still pretty crazy to think that he was held for years without charges being brought against him, they really wanted to make an example. I'm glad he is free now and doing his own thing.

I wish 2600 was the magazine that it used to be, but I think the internet really caught up with it and made it non factor.

I haven't picked up a copy in years. Do they still print pictures of phone booths on the back of every cover?

Yes, they sure do, just got the latest issue by mail this week. If I'm not completely mistaken (the magazine is at home) it shows phones that were taken out of business. They also still have picture prominently featuring '2600' somewhere.

One of my favorite 2600 covers ever: http://www.2600.com/covers/sp981.gif

And does anyone else remember 2600's feature-length film "Freedom Downtime - The Story of Kevin Mitnick" [VIDEO] -- http://archive.org/details/FreedomDowntime-TheStoryOfKevinMi...

takedown.com, the prosecutor's site documenting the arrest of Kevin Mitnick, was the first web site I ever saw that made use of frames (when viewed in Netscape 3.2 iirc?)

At the time, I thought frames were amazing and started making a bunch of web sites with frames. Oops.
