I think it wasn't so much that he hadn't "seen" a "qwerty" keyboard
inasmuch that he wasn't "used" to one. (thus the "How Quaint" comment)

Speaking of movie computers. i don't remember the name of it, might have
even been some stupid movie on MST3K like "Robot Holocaust" or something
but ANYWAYS... one of the scenes was a cheesy underground "lair" (not
unlike a "batcave") that had a requisite mad scientist with his super
computer which consisted of a giant steel box with a rectangular hole in
the top of it from which peeked a VIC-20!
