Didn't, like, everyone do this back in the day?

  "Didn't, like, everyone do this back in the day?" I don't know about everyone, but back when things were a lot more electro-mechanical and the laws far less Draconian it was much easier for the techno-curious to hack around with stuff. Used to be able to do switch-hook dialing from ATM phones, for example. Very amusing. Side comment: A friend of mine told me today that he recently fixed his dormant Philips DVD player when he learned it was a matter of replacing a capacitor. I told him it sounds like an Onion headline; "Area man repairs own DVD player."
