Two of my favorites:
ISTR (tho I haven't seen it since it came out) that the original Terminator
was programmed in:
1: Basic (Applesoft Basic, wasn't it?)
2: 8-bit Assembly (methinks 6800/6809, but it could have been 6502...
memory fuzzy)
3: Get this: COBOL!!!!! ;-O
There may have been others... but those are three I distinctly remember
from the movie.
The other one (of course):
Scotty talking to a mouse on an original Macintosh (which, of course) had
the computational capabilities of a Cray it would seem...
And the 64,000 byte question: If Scotty had *never* seen a QWERTY keyboard
before in his life... how the *he!!* can he type so fast!?!
Inquiring minds want to know!
Prost,
"Merch"
