Uplink Hints
A note on the rest -- READ THIS!
Most of the fun stuff included here can be found just exploring the game. I strongly recommend you simply have fun exploring, maybe seeing the "Try to" section of this part of the file, before diving to the hints here -- or even the Uplink Forums.
The threads in here do contain massive spoilers -- IF you see all the hints at once (i.e. click them open;)). I've included these secrets here because in the Uplink Forums there are far too many unmarked posts (i.e. not marked 'SPOILER') that just give away the secrets. (as do several of the walkthrougs/FAQs as well)
Due to the structure of the UHS files I've managed to put a mass of hints between. Only the last few hints within the hint thread contains the spoiler.
