It's a trip to look out the window of your car and see the same hill in person. Today it's covered in grape vines and no longer looks so blissful. It's on Highway 12 in Sonoma County, California.

It's 'ph' for both words. I've been around since the colored box days and I've not seen 'f' used for both words ever, but to each their own.

@SocialistDistancing LOL, It seems a solid question and it is a funny name indeed. I was on the fringes of phreaking until I became friends with the famous phreak called Cap'n Crunch who turned out to be a bit of a freaky phreak who wanted to get his freak on. No freaking way. Not my cup of tea.

@SocialistDistancing He's notorious enough that he's a the heart of many stories which are quite worth reading. He's the inventor of the 'blue box' which gave out the 2600 Hz tone and allowed dialing with a different set of touch-tone digits to turn a regular caller into an international operator, enabling complete control of the phone switching network. With that tool he was able to crank call Richard Nixon in the White house which is a very good story! Two college kids called Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak got in touch with Crunch to learn how it was done and the short of it is that Apple Computer was founded with the funds from selling an HP calculator, a VW bus, and 50 blue boxes. Crunch (aka John Draper) I believe was Apple employee #12. He's now banned from hacking conventions for being freaky.

@SocialistDistancing The stories are not hard to find. In 2013, a team at DEF CON named itself “Too Old for Cap'n Crunch.”
