Found an old NY Times article about the old NYC hackerspace from the 90s

LeoZ 2026-05-26 12:11:32 ET https://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/14/nyregion/the-good-the-bad-the-geeks.html Mentions nyc2600, notwork, "Parse: Hack/Phreak" (the old streaming video hacker show on the Pulse network that was possible due to realplayer being a thing), mentions of the guys from the infamous MTV True Life: Hackers episode, etc. Little sprinkle of interesting memories from the past as inspiration to make good memories for our futures.
