bit later as we were walking across campus, I got a page from Eliot Moore, a longtime friend I hadn’t been in touch with for a while. I went to a pay phone to call him back. “Are you at Pierce College?” he asked. “Yes.” “Did you leave a tape in the tape drive?” “Oh, shit… how did you know?” I said. “Don’t go back to the computer room,” he warned me. “They’re waiting for you.” By some strange chance, Eliot had been in the computer lab when the instructor noticed the blinking light on the MicroVAX tape drive. It was obvious that someone had inserted a cartridge tape and was copying some files.
