I think the “WOPR” was IBM’s first attempt at a “laptop” computer.

But even the WOPR is no comparison to the computer of The Sea View! The SeaView's computer ruled! I'm not sure if any since have been more powerful. I mean, the blinking lights alone.

I imagine these days your home computer cell phone could run rings around WOPR in a test of computing power.Fixed it.

Depends on your cell phone. What if you have one of these?
Or something more modern like?

Homely got her early on. :-P
To: fieldmarshaldj
She was cute in that one, though...guess she did too many drugs like the rest of the Brat Pack.

I saw that movie more than a few times when it came out (I remember it was playing at the same time as “Risky Business”, which I really wanted to see, but I was just 9, so...). I never did find her attractive, perhaps her weird teeth. She was also too old for “The Breakfast Club” (actually, aside from Ringwald and Hall, they were all too old). Then again, she was probably too old for WG.

Hey, they don’t look 17 forever, and she’s not bad at all.
