It was thus said that the Great Kai Kaltenbach once stated:

  I didn't make the connection that it was the Cray's terminal; I thought it
was a Window's box.

  Now, to turn this back to an on-topic thread, the microcomputer used in
"War Games" was one of the last IMSAI's if I recall correctly. And does
anyone know what computers where used for the graphics in "Tron" and "The
Last Starfighter"?
