Dear 2600:

I just wanted to say a few things about what you are doing. First, I am so happy that you started to have 2600 offered for the Kindle. Your great work didn't go unnoticed - in fact, just the opposite! I have always had a desire to understand how and why things worked like they do. I thought a "hacker" was a bad thing. After reading my first ever 2600 that I stumbled upon in the Kindle store (unaware of your existence), I realized I was a hacker at heart (only a few "hacks"). I realized that it was not a bad thing to be a creative person who could think outside of the box, thus making it better for the people who were stuck plugged into the box. Hackers do things to understand, make things better, different, or interesting with a non-malicious intent.

Would the world be a better place if everyone could think outside of the box? Why is it that "hackers" are mostly associated with electronics? There was a social hack by someone in the issue that I read and it made me start thinking. I'm in an honor society and I have heard lectures by famous people who were successful basically because of social "hacks." They didn't accept the normal answers and they wanted more. They kept on trying from several different approaches until they had the result they wanted (in some cases bending rules/laws)! Is this not a hack? They are some of the most successful people because of how they thought outside of the box. Your magazine has changed my perspective and opened my eyes to even more possibilities. Awesome work!
