All of the decent BBS' were long distance and I was 'computer-grounded' when my parents found the first phone bill. Yes, I resorted to sprint access code #'s more than once to work around this unfortunate logistical problem... Fun fact about the production of this film from IMDB: The computer in David's (Matthew Broderick's) room is an IMSAI 8080. A technical expert who supplied the computer for the film tells how Matthew Broderick saved a shooting day by figuring out a programming sequence for the keyboard on his own after instructions were lost. My favorite WarGames scene: "MR. POTATOHEAD!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNiiBrEHBWA&feature=related LOL, great takeaway from Carter :)

But I'd still watch it if they just gave Ally a cameo. Seeing all that pre-Mac hi-tech in WarGames made me think of this <a href="http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1788161" target="_new" rel="nofollow">retro episode of 24</a>. Agreed.
