IIRC, many of the SF films of the 60s-70s used bits and pieces from two old
NORAD computers... Anyone remember what --those-- looked like?
Cheers...

Subject: Computer in Dark Star
Just been watching John Carpenter's film
"Dark Star" (again). There's
a very brief shot of a computer toggle-switch front panel. It seems to
have two rows of 15 lights (neons?) and two rows of toggle switches
(with plastic tips). It looks like a genuine machine, not a made-up
prop, but what machine is it? Does anybody know?
