A classic! A must watch on any rainy day.

Nice to see old computers struggling, compiling taking down systems. Great performances all around.

And of course "it's a unix system"

Top 3 favorite movies, for sure. And it still holds up thanks to the practical effects.

To this day, I still say, "Hold on to your butts" every time I make a change to production.

Also, can't forget the blinkenlights

Dumb question: Is any of that real German besides "Achtung"? I ask because I can make sense of most of it, and German is not a language I've ever studied lol.

Otherwise:

Ah, okay. Whew. Thought I might have hit my head without remembering and woke up able to speak another language.
