Considering that John Draper is one of the most bizzare and annoying people I have ever met, I hope he has someone else to do the P.R. work. The last time I talked to John (about 1995) he was a burn-out case who could barely operate his Mac and was living on the streets. I am wondering if someone is using him as a figurehead to do business under a well known name. alan@ctrl-alt-del.com | Note to AOL users: for a quick shortcut to reply Alan Olsen | to my mail, just hit the ctrl, alt and del keys.

I guess there is no market in being a personal hygene consultant. Odd, though, I would have thought this guy's level of hax0r technical skill would have made him more suited to being a music teacher than a security advisor.
