	        APPLE FOUNDER OFFERS SCHOLARSHIP FOR HACKERS
	          - Associated Press

	Boulder, CO - Computer whiz Stephen Wozniak has donated $100,000 for
    a University of Colorado scholarship aimed at developing excellence in
    computer hackers at his alma mater.
	"The value of cracking security codes and understanding them is that 
    generates incredible knowledge," said Wozniak, one of the original hackers
    and co-founder of Apple Computer Inc. 
	Wozniak said he actually encourages the "mildly" social deviants" to
    break access and security codes as a way to learn.
	The "Woz" scholarship program is twofold: a tuition grant and a job
    working with the computer science department.
	"There is a misconception that hackers are dangerous to society," 
    Wozniak said. "They are just trying to do things that they are not supposed
    to be able to do."
	As a freshman at CU in 1969, Wozniak tapped into the university's
    computer system to print out reams of mathematical information. Angry 
    university officials placed him on probation, and, he said, on the road to
    Apple Computer.

	...nuff said.
