Moreover, don't let your security guy run Irix 3d interfaces on Mac
Quadra 700s with no power light on, and respond "bullshit" when he shows
you 'live security camera' footage with Quicktime progress bars.

For most of the movie, the "Thinking Machines supercomputers" have Mac
System7 desktops, but I have strong memories of the reboot sequence
being a DOS boot...

And don't get me started on Independence Day.

Cheers
Martin
