| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Broadway Hacker started out in the BBS world in late 1983 when he |
| first got his modem. On March 23, 1985, The Broadway Show, his first bulletin |
| board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on 1 disk drive at 300 baud |
| and has upgraded incredibly. It was originally a phreak board as it currently |
| is also. He had originally gotten his C-64 computer in early 1985. Various |
| members of the elite world including King Blotto, Lex Luthor, and Dr. Who got |
| on his board to make it the memorable board that it was before the format |
| change. His phreak experience began in 1981 through CB radios when a CB'er |
| gave him a code over the line. Some of the memorable phreak boards he was on |
| included Blottoland, The AT&T Phone Center of 312, and Dark Side of the Moon of |
| 818. He gives credit for his phreak knowledge to conferences mostly. The Radio |
|
|
| Mike works at a very large radio station. His phreaking is unknown at |
| work. He's not particularly interested in programming beyond modifying The |
| Radio Station. |
|
|
| Broadway Hacker hasn't the time for hacking now. Broadway attends the |
| Tap meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was a regular. He |
| attended the 1986 TelePub meeting in New York which was to decide the fate of |
| Tap magazine. Broadway has met various phreaks in person including BIOC Agent |
| 003, Lex Luthor, Dr. Who, King Blotto, Cheshire Catalyst, The Sprinter, The |
| Saint, Micro Ghoul, 2600 Magazine People, Paul Muad'Dib, and TUC. There were |
| others, but he couldn't remember at 9:00 AM EST. He has made it a point to not |
| become a member of groups, but he has been, in the past, invited to many. |

|
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Broadway Hacker wishes you all to know that he does not conference at |
| all any more because conferencing has depreciated from the old days and that |
| they have become mostly a place to gather for gossip. |

|
| I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in |
| the near future. ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees. |
|
|
| Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most |
| phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? For the most part, Broadway says, "No". |
| Thanks for your time Mike. |
