It was thus said that the Great Kai Kaltenbach once stated:
In the movie _Sneakers_, Ben Kingsley plays an ex-hacker who is now the
financial data processing administrator for the Mob. He has a large
complex of systems including a very Cray-like central processor and all
sorts of fancy accessories. He's extolling the virtues of mob money to
Robert Redford's character, and to illustrate his point he turns on the
Cray's terminal... lo and behold, the Cray runs Microsoft Excel!
I didn't make the connection that it was the Cray's terminal; I thought it
was a Window's box.
Now, to turn this back to an on-topic thread, the microcomputer used in
"War Games" was one of the last IMSAI's if I recall correctly. And does
anyone know what computers where used for the graphics in "Tron" and "The
Last Starfighter"?
