I was amazed to see on the back cover that it was "soon a major motion picture". No I'm not kidding. I did a double take, putting the book down and then grabbing it again 5 seconds later when it sunk in. Does anyone know anything about this? Incidentally the book, as far as I've got so far (chapter 5) is excellent. If there is a movie, and it's as loose with the details of computers as Wargames apparently is, I'll have to get some asbestos underwear to protect me from Lauren's flames!!! -- Mark ...{decvax,ucbvax}!decwrl!qubix!msc ...{ittvax,amd70}!qubix!msc decwrl!qubix!msc@Berkeley.ARPA
