movie computers - Outland - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

  I'm sorry but I can't recall a scene in any
movie that resembles a real 
 use of a computer. Face it computers on film are boring. That's why 
 every movie computer has animated graphics and makes noises every time 
 you do something.  
What about the movie Outland?  The Doc used a computer to analyze a dead man's
blood for drugs, and the graphics were reasonably occilloscopic-like to seem
realistic.

Don't forget "Mother" in Alien.  No graphics, just reporting the facts.
