Yes ! I din't remember it. And I recorded this movie some months ago
and note this detail when I was seeing the movie.

Cheers

  The movie of course!  
 What else ;-) I've recorded it on a SVHS tape for better quality. 
 You can
 even see the woman verifying the start address of 7605 (or was it 
 7600?)before pressing CONT.

 Another interesting movie is "The angry red planet", a SF movie 
 from the
 late fifties. The main computer on board of the space craft is a huge
 Borroughs tube computer, with operator console and reel tape 
 drives. It's
 fun to see the tubes glowing, at least you get that impression and to
 watch the tapes moving.
 Does anybody know the model of the computer?
