I remember the Danish press being up in arms back in the late 90s, probably 98 or 99, because a magazine published Back Orifice on their demo CD. Much fun was had, mostly innocent. Swiped a login and PW for a school computer with a 56k modem, which saved me a bit of money :p

Hi!

@@dethveggie felt like it was a 99.9% chance you would have not seen it or replied. Sunday was a dull day, poking around on the net , stumbled on this page and stopped the video just to take a nostalgic poke at things and randomly felt like saying hi, not that you would know me or even expecting a response. After restarting the video your handle was mentioned. Lots has changed since DEFCON8 57 years old , out of the digital community, small apartment, one furrf cat to come home to. Met you a CON a long time ago .

His current name is Beto O'Rourke. That is NOT his real name. And, of course the jerk is running for president. Lol

[@dethveggie]

Uh-huh, whatever you say, sparky, whatever you say.

[@mrpedantic]

He's been called that since he was 7.

[@dkb6465]

Not in the race

[@ashleyprieto5711]

So if that isn’t his real name then what is?
