when they made wargames (81 or 82 or something like that i think), they
acutally wanted to use an old outdated computer for the time (remember the
imsai was from around 76 or 77 or something like that) rather than a newer
apple 2e or something like that. they wanted to invoke the atmosphere of
broderick being a cheap hacker who only had access to an old outdated
computer.
kinda interesting when i read about that once.
