When I was 10 or 13 or so, there was a book in the local library
about a Robin Hood-type of programmer for a small town courthouse
who used his computer knowledge to create several fake identities;
he then faked his death, and took his van-full-of-computer-and
telecommunications-equipment off to the woods to live in a cabin.

This was in the late 70s/early 80s .  Anybody remember the name of the book?
