Just a little history - John Draper was also known as the Phone Phreak “Captain Crunch” taking his name from a whistle that was available in the same-named serial as a prize that would reliably emit 2600 Hz. The two Steve’s had a period where they were building “Blue Boxes” to sell to other phone phreaks. Draper also wrote the first text editor available for the IBM PC - EasyWriter.
