When I found out about those, I overthrew them. The first time, I happened to know the password of one of the people who was included among the elite, so I was able to use that to turn everyone back on. The second time he had changed his password, he had now changed his sympathies, he was now part of the aristocratic party. So, I had to bring the machine down and use non-timeshared DDT to poke around. I poked around in the monitor for a while, and eventually figured out how to get it to load itself in and let me patch it, so that I could turn off password checking and then I turned back on a whole bunch of people's wheel bits and posted a system message. I have to explain that the name of this machine was OZ, so I posted a system message saying: &ldquo;There was another attempt to seize power. So far the aristocratic forces have been defeated&mdash;Radio Free OZ&rdquo;. Later I discovered that &ldquo;Radio Free OZ&rdquo; is one of the things used by Firesign Theater. I didn't know that at the time.
