I am! I'm always digging into my software and hardware to learn more about how it works, tweaking it if possible to make it better. Hacking is a great thing that made computing as we know it possible, raising a generation of competent programmers and hardware designers. IMHO the Woz, creator of the hardware and software for the original Apple I and II, was the ultimate hacker.
Oh, you were maybe suffering from the common layman perception of what a hacker is? I would expect that from you.
good point--never thought about it that way...
in that regard, then i be a hacker as well...
