    I hope you aren't implying that they were script kiddies. They were truly talented; they learned what they needed to know, and were actually skilled hackers. After all, look at the cool 3D GUIs they wrote to depict the inside of a mainframe!

      Hrmm... in the movie, did they supposidly create those 3D interfaces for their computers? I always just thought that the movie makers did that to make things more interesting for the viewers. As I said when I watched that movie for the first time: "My, this movie would have been boring had we been shown text-based prompts the entire time.". ;)

        What're you talking about? I program in 3D, it only looks like a text interface to the uninitiated.
