My Hummer has fangs

Here's a little more info about me. Back in the day before the fascist police state demonized hackers, the actual heroes of the computer revolution, I used to sell a program called MemPro. It was a similar time to this actually. Memory prices had gone through the roof and there was a shortage. I wrote a program that discarded unlocked blocks and compacted memory, creating a large contiguous block of free space to load the next program into, essentially defragmenting memory. That made programs run in 4 megs as fast as they would in 8 megs. You can find the first version in Jim Boyce's multi-million copy selling "Maximizing Windows 3.1" (ISBN 1-56205-044-3) copyright 1992 by New Riders Publishing.
 
If someone spray paints a wall you don't call them a wall hacker but deface a website and all of a sudden you are. Go figure!

Here's a junior hacker puzzle, a simple substitution cipher by JRR Tolkien... I didn't finish it this time around, they stole my copy when the lawyers and cops robbed my parents estate, so had to do it over again.

You might try a Rosetta Stone and some more complicated glyphs next. ;) GL kids! You'll need it in this fatherland, er, homeland.
