Hello, Daredevil here...
|
|||
|
|
The purpose of this file is to explain, in humorous terms, the difference
|
|||
|
|
between "modem geeks" and "modem personallities". I give great credit to the
|
|||
|
|
authors of 'The Real Pirates Guide', whose excellent and unique writing style
|
|||
|
|
gave birth to this file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks have memorized every peek, poke, and call in the applesoft
|
|||
|
|
manual. Their manuals are clean, and shiny, from the first day that they were
|
|||
|
|
bought.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities have their manuals, but they can't seem to find them
|
|||
|
|
amist all the confusion in their rooms. They don't need to memorize memory
|
|||
|
|
locations. They just ask a Modem Geek.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks use their father's Pet computer, or their own Atari that they
|
|||
|
|
bought at the flea market for $20. They also can use a vic-20 that was on sale
|
|||
|
|
at K-Mart.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities own their own Apple computer, usually a ][, ][+, or a
|
|||
|
|
//e. Rarely do they log onto boards with a //c, or anything other than an
|
|||
|
|
Apple.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks ask (beg) for E-Mail.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities get E-Mail without asking for it, and consider it a bit
|
|||
|
|
of a nuisance. They like to talk voice and meet people, without hiding behind
|
|||
|
|
a keyboard and a carrier tone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks wish and dream about having their own bbs up. They only use a
|
|||
|
|
terminal, and have been asking how to put a bbs up on a terminal for six months
|
|||
|
|
now.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem personallities either have their own bbs up, are the co-sysop of a bbs,
|
|||
|
|
or are good friends with the sysop.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks send in large donations to systems, so they can be socially
|
|||
|
|
accepted by the masses.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities have had level nine since the system went up, and groan
|
|||
|
|
at the idea of a Modem Geek accessing the Elite Section.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks transfer things from one ae line to another...in the same area
|
|||
|
|
code.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities either don't waste time with ae lines, or they call out
|
|||
|
|
of state anyway. There's too many Modem Geeks in the local area.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks try to crash bulletin boards with the 99E99 attempt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities ponder over why someone would want to crash a bulletin
|
|||
|
|
board. It only hurts everybody else, in their oponion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks own a zoom modem, or use a terminal, and wonder why they can't
|
|||
|
|
download 'Spy Hunter' to their terminal, or use CatSend with their NetWorker.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities own an AppleCat, a Hayes, or another brand of modem that
|
|||
|
|
didn't cost under $150. They're not cheap.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks frown upon organizations over the modem, saying that they're just
|
|||
|
|
there to pick on people, and do distructive things. The truth is, that they
|
|||
|
|
would jump at the chance to be in one, if only somebody would invite them in!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities didn't join V.O.I.D., The Revolutionaries, or Olympia.
|
|||
|
|
They didn't ask to be in E.M.P.I.R.E. either.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks spend four to eight hours a day on local bbs's.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities can get on a bbs anytime they choose, with the help of
|
|||
|
|
an auto-dialer, so they call about every two to three days.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks log onto The Wang Bang BBS, Appler ][+][, The Death Star, and the
|
|||
|
|
Tavern.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities access The Twilight Zone, The Haunted House, and various
|
|||
|
|
out-of-state lines.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks post on the Joke Board, the Art Board, and write about their last
|
|||
|
|
wet dream on the X-Rated board.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities stay away from the above, but when they write on the
|
|||
|
|
X-Rate d board, they write from experience.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks listen to Prince, Culture Club, Michael Jackson, Wham!, and
|
|||
|
|
various computer tones, including ctrl-g.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities listen to Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Beatles, Dire
|
|||
|
|
Straights, The Cars, U2, Iron Maiden, and The Police. (Pardon if this list was
|
|||
|
|
a bit personal.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks tried to breakdance, be a stoner, and open a bridginghead with a
|
|||
|
|
wire stripper.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities spit upon break-dancing, and know how to open a
|
|||
|
|
bridginghead, if the need ever arises.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks collect text-files on explosives, to show to their friends how
|
|||
|
|
cool they are to have them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities only collect explosive text-files if they're going to
|
|||
|
|
use them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks download.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities upload.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks were offended by The Sheik's file:"Are you a Modem Geek?"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities watched the Modem Geeks get offended.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks let their little brothers call bulletin boards.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities let their girlfriends call bulletin boards, and flirt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks can't call out of the local area code, for fear that their
|
|||
|
|
parents won't like the high phone bill.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities pay their own phone bill, and besides, they usually
|
|||
|
|
phreak as well.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks think a 'blue box' is a mailbox.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities know that Brian Decker is full of shit about the grey
|
|||
|
|
box.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks collect stamps, are in the chess club at school, and are never
|
|||
|
|
caught without six or more ballpoint pens in their pocket, with a TRS-80 pocket
|
|||
|
|
computer as well.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities (usually) collect comic books, records, and girls.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks think that The Bullseye existed, and Ron VanZuylen doesn't.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities know Ron, and think he's weird.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks call 'Dial-Your-Match' and the Lamda Switchboard.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities try to find ways to crash these systems, for the good of
|
|||
|
|
the telecommunications society.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks rely on the modem for a social life, or a semblence of one.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Personallities's lives would go on if their modem blew a chip.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Modem Geeks would cry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is only...volume one.
|
|||
|
|
This is only...the beginning.
