Watch some of the graphics in the movie that supposedly represent the programming of this robot from the year 2060, and you will see COBOL program fragments, plus a lot of an Apple 6502 Assembler program known as "Key Perfect" (Version 4.0). At least the code is well documented. I liked the movie anyways. Lots of action. Arnold Schwarzenegger - what an actor! Lots of people getting blowed up. Blowed up real good. No helicopters though.
