I like the fact that they used the old TTY paper tape in the first part of the movie!
funny note: when giving names to the various computers at work mine were labeled : Forbin, colossus, guardian, Gort, Klattu, and Robbie from the sci-fi area! hehehe

Ron Howard is working on a remake of Colossus but it appears he's stuck in development hell.
Martians huh? Sounds weird. If Ron pulls it off,I hope it's better than the remake of "Day the Earth Stood Still". :(

Sigh, now tell me why I like you?
1.You can't "do the Linky thing." darph's own words guys.
2.Your cut n paste skills are ZERO!
3.My mailbox has a Billion "If You Cans"
glogging it.
4.You use me as fodder. :p:
& the list does go on. Have never gotten you a beer, & those comps are a bit iffy right now. ;) Oh, wait!! I know why you like me. :light: My family sells beer. Ya, this makes me real popular. :D:
