Trying to get something going here

I'm trying to get something going on this article... I'm kind of tired and a little burnt out for today though. Maybe I'll revisit it tomorrow. There's a lot to say about "both sides of the coin." I "helped create a better free encyclopedia" enough today lol --Eric M Gearhart 16:47, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

Eric Raymond's "A Brief History of Hackerdom" is an excellent resource. I believe it will be an invaluable aid in the writing of this article. --Joshua David Williams 14:01, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution"] tells the MIT side of the story quite well too. I don't have a copy nearby, or I'd be drawing from it for this article :( Maybe I'll order it on eBay (there's not Barnes and Noble in Iraq unfortunately) Eric M Gearhart

Whoa it's a free ebook on Gutenberg now! Sweet. I will take a look Eric M Gearhart

That's awesome. I'll read it ASAP. I've found that vi and a tty is a great combination for reading eBooks. It's a lot easier on the eyes than reading it in X. That's how I've been reading The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Eric Raymond is an excellent writer. --Joshua David Williams 14:17, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
