Yeah, that is sad.  Back in the early days when I was ``hacking''
8080 and z80 code, a hacker was someone who jumped into the code
with both feet, thrashed around a bit, and put it all back together
in a better manner.  Nowadays, it seems, the real meaning has taken
a distasteful turn..... oh, well, what has the world come to.....
