4am cracks of Lode Runner and Spare Change have served as an inspiration for me to finally learn how all this funny disk access really works, rather than having a tenuous grasp on it (at best) buttressed by _Beneath Apple DOS_.

For many years, my cracked copy of Lode Runner started with a text screen that read "CRACKED BY THE SURGEON".

@yakkoj could that have been “The Chief Surgeon”? I knew him briefly, when I was in the group Black Bag. Sadly I have not a single recollection about anyone in those groups other than their handles now 🙁. Too many years…
