I want to be a Hacker
I got to be a Hacker
I'm born to be a Hacker
I want to be a Hacker
A Hacker! Uh-huh

All the scene Whores in their Stetson hats
and their tight fitting jeans so they don't look fat
We'll all be listening to the Hacker tunes
and stomp around like a bunch of goons

Actually I WISH I could be a hacker. Or at least
someone who knows all about computers. One day I want
to build a web site.---I have so many questions in my
mind...For instance, if someone is online and in a
chat room, can I see what is being said by going to
that chat room? Will all the others in the chat room
know I am there or can I eavesdrop on people without
them knowing? Is there any way of knowing that someone
got my e-mail other than hearing from them or hacking
into their system to see if they did? How can I search
to see if someone is online if all I have is their
e-mail address but not their instant messaging name?
Can I "shadow" someone, i.e. follow them as they surf
the web to see where they go, this without hacking
into their computer? If so, how?---Ah, to be a
hacker...How does one exactly get to be a hacker and
get to gain some computer skills that are worth being
paid for?

Well, I think those questions are more than enough! If
there is anything that you think anyone with my
expertise might be of help, please let me know. And I
would appreciate any reading material or pointers that
you may have towards my future hacking career! Nice to
meet you finally!
