	I finally broke down and bought Tracy Kidder's book
	"The Soul of a New Machine" (For those who don't know,
	it's about the creation of the Data General MV8000.)

	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!!!
