Whew - At least we know where bill gates stands now.

By ken's defintion of the hacker class - folks like gates, sam cohen, jimmy 
barksdale, heck, even dick cheney (or are oil men out?), and dan flynn are 
part and parcel of the hacker class - producers, engineers, tinkerers. 
That's a mighty tough contradiction to overcome in any class analysis, no 
matter who's book you go by. I'd say the hacker class has done pretty well 
for itself already, but they tended to favor the vectoralist position. Or 
how many shares does it take to turn a hacker into a vector?  Maybe we are 
_all_ hackers and we don't know it, but _they_ found out first.


cheers,
