 In article <24833@usc.edu> A.J.Annala <annala@neuro.usc.edu>
makes some comments  about the personality of a hacker, especially
the words "Intelligent. Intense. Abstracted" but I am afraid
the comments apply rather to the malicious crackers than to "hackers"
with the original meaning of the word.
 The author of the original article uses the term "hacker" to describe
the creative, if a bit careless, programmer who enjoys spending
most of his free time on a computer.
