Hardware Hacker was a monthly set of Don's columns which used
to appear in RADIO ELECTRONICS and ELECTRONICS NOW.
These preceded the current TECH MUSINGS series. Coverage
included electronic and computer fundamentals presented in Don's
unique and lucid technical style.
Long ago, the term hacking meant "pushing the limits of technical
excellence." Preferably by using elegant simplicity to leave all the
supposed experts shaking their heads in stunned disbelief.
Sadly, those media epsilon minuses and several law enforcement
officials stupidly trashed and subverted a once proud name. Since
I got tired of calls from felon wannabees and all those men in black
camped on my doorstop, I changed the column name in 1995.
