That explains that then.

Yes, truly a weird combination on the film. Using exposed
mechanical keyboards, along with those tiny CRT monitors
with the Fresnel lens in front of them.

the worse somewhere down the line.

Equally amazing was the Messerschmidt three wheeled
automobile they scrounged up for Sam's vehicle.
