I found this on google,

http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~redrob/hacker.htm

I think that every newbie should read the entire story, It apears to be a real story.

I myself am a newbie, and I once thought the same things that many newbies think, that hacking is cool, and all. I learned otherwise,

A big thank you to everyone who has ever flamed me, I had also been baned from a BBS. Day by day I am becomeing mature. And reading this story was a major influence on my future.
