StarShipSofa on the WarGames experience
The latest episode of Starship Sofa is talking about computers in SF and one bit made me laugh so much I had to mention it.
Talking about WarGames, Tony says that after he first saw it he was sitting in his bedroom with his VIC-20 wondering if he could hack into the US Government defence department, but instead all he had was magazines with code that you type in, that never worked. Oh how true. I wanted to get a modem and access to Prestel for my BBC Micro to do the same.
