I've wondered where that installation actually was...

I know an old guy in the Gold Recovery business in LA who was GSA approved and had a nice
side business selling stuff to Hollywood,
But in 1964 that had to be someones system, as that was way too early in it's life for
it to have been a simple movie prop.
Just my thoughts

I think it's time to publish a "Top 10 Antique Computers on Camera" list in
my newsletter.
So, I request that everyone interested send me an OFF-LIST email with
his/her Top 10 list (or however many you can think of.) Then I'll publish
the results in an upcoming issue. And just to make it controversial (like
any good Top 10 list should be!), I will let former cctalker Sellam Ismail
judge which list wins. LOL, I promise to remove the list author names first
so he can't make any prejudgments. :) Olympic truce, ya know???
Let the games begin and may the nerdiest cctalker win!

I kinda hope that a master list would be compiled from
all the submissions, after doing a merge and dedupe,
so as to be the best possible ClassicComp movie guide.

I'll certainly consider the mentions posted here, although I have no
intention of making a "best possible ... movie guide". LOL, there's no
entertainment editor here at Computer Collector Newsletter. But if someone
else is a film buff and wants to make a guide, then I'll glady share the
contributed Top 10 lists (sans author names) so they can compile a guide,
and I'll give them space to write about it.
Only one person sent me a personal, private Top 10 list so far. The rest of
you should get thinking! :)

I guessed it would be in the UK because Kubrick famously wouldn't travel by
plane.
