I don't miss the decks *that* much ... far cooler to whip out a laptop and go to work than to see someone's thumbs a-flappin' on a CelPhone, but, I can deal since most of them go "Dump and Slump" anyway.
No, what I miss is th term Decker. It was so ... neutral. Just someone who uses a Deck a lot. Street Deckers, Corporate Deckers, Security Deckers, Elven Deckers ... it was a really neutral term that was also completely expressive. But hacker? Hacker has too much baggage. Hard to say "Security Hacker" and not have it mean exactly the opposite of what you meant. "Corporate Hacker"'s almost as bad. *sniffle* So long, Decker. We knew ye well. |
