Oh, look, a PDF copy of the book: http://www.microsoft.no/nedlastning/.../Mommybook.pdf

Still trying to track down copies of "Rover the dog says "SYN/ACK!" and "How to be the Best at Firewall Configuration (The Boy's Book)"

Like wetherford said, its been a looong while.
I remembered the change directory command but it kinda ruined the flow so I went for style over commitment to reality.

Nowadays if Im doing anything in console its on a unix based OS

Pokemon has jack squat to do with being OG 1337. The picture above you, however, does.

You know, I haven't picked up a copy in probably 15 years. My old roommate in college actually had a subscription.

2600 is a good read. Been a couple of years since I read one. I should ask for a subscription as a b-day gift or something. I bet that I'm one of the younger people (21) on here that know what it is.
