The older type was before my time. But here's my thinking... You can't really know how something works without also being able to make it do something that wasn't intended. I feel counter-culture and a little bit punk every time I fix something instead of buying a new one. I feel a little MORE CC and punk if I do it with bailing wire and pliers from my back pocket, on the spot, in front of people. Hacking is counter-culture because culture is lame and hacking is awesome. You can't --and I mean, logically-- you can't be good at things without finding yourself going against the flow. Because being independently strong is just not where the flow is pointed.
