This is a legendary true story of a true hacker named Mel, who worked for Royal McBee computer company, during the heyday of the Cold War. I love computer stories from back then, and this is my favorite one of all.

Fans of this story were able to track him down and found a black and white photograph of Mel at Royal McBee (modern browser needed).

I think it's best experienced from the original source I found it, although the real original story was from Usenet in 1983. DARPANET?

Grab your favorite beverage or hot drink, cozy up and enjoy...
