 On a similar note, Anyone else notice that Messrs.
Redford, Poitier, et
al
were using an Atari 830 300bps Acoustic Coupler for their super-duper,
high-tech, bounce-around-the-world phone call to James Earl Jones? 
While we're playing this, may I point out that in the control room of the
Red Dwarf is, in at least one episode, an original C64?  I thought that,
being a BBC production, they should have at least use the BBC Micro. *grin*

Just think, one day some of our old computers will be used to control
starships a mile long.
