I shot out with a copy of 2600 in my hands, and by the age of 6 had placed just over $1M in free calls to 900 numbers off AT&T's grid with a radio shack built bluebox. During the BBS days I made a small fortune in ASCII porn and bought an Island and a 3 nippled wife from Chernobyl - luckily I still have that investment (the wife) as things took a long downturn when under the influence of lethal amounts of ether decided to liquidate all 6 of my Mac II SE's and open up my own traveling circus. Turns out a Carny doesn't make nearly as much as "Teh 8 Bit Pr0n Lord" (who knew?) and I soon found myself stuck in a small town outside Oxaca Mexico shooting ping pong balls out of... well... struggling for every peso I earned.
Fast forward a decade and through pure dumb luck, and many years taken off my kidneys, found out that apparently people still use the internet primarily for sexual gratification and will pay anything for it- my midget tranny porn webring just exploded and now I can afford all the pork rinds I can eat.
Oh, I'm Italian.
