Yeah, in the old days it was sweet. Not like my first computer, a "luggable" Osborne!

Before he was building computers, Jobs was into hacking the phone system.

The linked article is a review of the book Exploding the Phone by Phil Lapsley, which I highly recommend if you find that sort of stuff interesting.
