Hacker References

Neal Stephenson's novel Cryptonomicon contains a several-page-long passage -- in chapter 56 -- about how to prepare and enjoy a delicious bowl of Cap'n Crunch. Neo is also described as eating Cap'n Crunch cereals in one of the early versions of the script for The Matrix. As both of these workers are hacker- and computer security-oriented, these are probably references to phone phreak John Draper, who called himself Captain Crunch.
