Sam Example

Friend of Steve's since 1857

That's me, Sam, teaching young Steve about computer security in 1861.

I do not hold with the new-fangled telegraph, too easy to intercept messages. I built a secure communication system using smoke signals, and send them across the country in a steel pipe. Messages in the pipe take three weeks to arrive.

Steve is a clever lad. He invented the hacksaw, and bypassed my security system. This is where the word "hacking" came from.
