running AFTER he has disconnected from WOPR?
WOPR downloaded a Java aplet into his computer that the web browser
continued to execute! C'mon, that one's easy!
Bzzzzzz. Wrong answer. Remember, this was the early 80s, Sun was just a
start up then. Must have been a USCD Pascal system.
C'mon people. Must I use a damn smiley EVERYTIME I'm being sarcastic??
(Unless I'm missing yours :)
I did this one
time with my friends..._War Games_, _THX1138_, and damn,
what was that other movie from the 80s that involves computers and
hacking and stuff?
"Tron"? "Real Genius"? "Demon Seed"?
Oh Yeah. TRON! How can I forget? _Demon Seed_ is deliciously cheezy.
