Ever have a Commie 64? Remember Commodore saying it was physically impossible to put a sprite in the border of the screen?
Took some kid in New Hampshire (if I remember correctly) about a week to prove them wrong.
As for the origins - try reading "Hackers" by Steven Levy. Good reading.

A bootstrap is 512 bytes... I've seen 4ks with all the
bells and SB music.
C64, ... nope that's the 1 of the commie line I didn't
have between the Waterloo Super PET and the C128.
I was still busy with the C16 business off shoot and
missed out, then the C128 was there and bang into the
world of 80x86. I can code the CPU, but I missed the
start of the warez culture. HEAVY SIGH!
Yah read em all, the family buys them for me for Christmas
thinking that's what I'm into, ... if they would just by
me spec books.
