Catch and Halt Fire - Drama set in early days of personal computing

I watched about 3 minutes. Pure garbage. Halt and Catch Fire is not a real computer instruction that caused a race condition that made the computer stop working. I imagine a bunch of teenagers are scouring Intel technical manuals looking for the Code 2 Duo equivalent of HCF. No one looked, acted, or talked like that back in the early 1980s (I remember, I was there). Especially not IBM sales people. If you could find a chick anywhere that looked 1/4 as cute as the chick in the opening scene and who knew as much about computers, you were either in the future, watching a bad 2014 television drama, or you were someplace private by yourself with your pants down lost in your imagination. I'm sure I could come up with more criticisms if I could deaden my senses enough without taking out critical life functions to watch the rest. Unfortunately, this program was designed for the braindead, technically illiterate cultural group that comprises television watchers generally. Whoever wrote this knows a computer collector. However, based on the level of comprehension of the subject matter that gets incorporated into the script, the writer probably only likes the computer collector in as much as they can get fodder for their crappy TV scripts. If any Hollywood people are reading this and want to make a good historical computer based drama or movie (it's been all downhill since War Games), you know how to contact me. -- Sellam ibn Abraham VintageTech ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintagetech.com Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
