everyone who Professor Look for another movie sometime, "Dr. Strangelove". The crazed nuclear scientist character in most all movies is based on Dr. Edward Teller, father of the US H-bomb (Sakharov produced the soviet H-bomb at the same time) and an influential advisor to Eisenhower. Teller is also the guy who convinced Reagan to go ahead with the "Star Wars" missle defense program (and if you think that "Star Wars" was a stupid idea that was cancelled, guess again, it is alive and well, just goes by other names these days). As for the rest of the movie, it was pure Hollywood. Secure facilities don't have unsecured phone line, and especially no incoming phone lines. BTW, the kid's computer was an IMSAI S-100, and the graphics (if I recall correctly) were generated by Godbout S-100 systems. Jack Peacock
