For anyone curious, the evil documents that kicked it all off was part of Phrack Magazine #24, articles 5 and 6 on BellSouth's new exciting E911 technology of the time.

This hits me with the nostalgia of playing GURPS with friends. GURPS Cyberpunk being one of my favorites.

Same! I love all the crunchy numbers and “realism” GURPS provides. All those parts I love about it make it a much more intimidating system than other “modern” role playing systems so there are far fewer folks interested. If getting an IRL D&D game is hard, doing the same with GURPS is all but impossible.
