My former midrange, the loss of which I still sometimes lament here because 
it was an AS/400 twenty years before there _was_ an AS/400 (right down to a 
frequently renamed PC interface card!), had an outdated model presented as 
the "mega-machine" during the attempted life-saving scene in ET.  Talk about 
no respect, the name (Qantel) was even misspelled in the credits as Quantel...
