While changing channels I came across a movie,
"The Honeymoon Machine"
staring Steve McQueen from 1961. They were using onboard ship mainframe
computer to compute odds for roulette wheel and using signaling lantern
to send messages to/from ship to casino. Computer named Max. Interesting
use of military computer system.
That is pretty cool. Was that basically the plot for the movie? If so,
it sounds like I could stand to watch the whole thing :)
