Uh, yes, h0p3 ... I didn't exactly start on that adventure thinking I'd write a book. Chasing after those hackers was orthogonal to my work in astronomy and the Keck telescope.
Yes, sir. I appreciate that. I think you made that very clear in the book as well. I'll agree that having OP's tooling back then would likely have been quite useful to you and others. I'm often terrible with words. What I meant to say was: thank you for writing the book. Your story has been an important part of my family's lives for three generations (your work is also mentioned 3 times in my โ๐ช๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ฑ, and, prominently in my record of reaching out to others out of the blue [I've a habit of knocking on doors with low success rates]). Never thought I'd have the chance to say that to you. =D. `/salute`. Thank you, sir.
Thanks to you for brightening my afternoon -- oh, you brought a smile to my face.
