Travolta..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in that movie, he messes around with a "virus", in
order </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to crack a database or something--
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>anyways, my point is: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the "virus" was designed on AutoCAD- as
pointed out</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by wired.com when the movie hit the
theatres.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that's so typical of hollywood movies- the lack of
realistic</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>computer technology</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(kind of similar to what Frank Schaap

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there is a german movie- "23" - which is far more
realistic,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mainly featuring minimalistic command line
action and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>distorted modem sounds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and still, there's a lot of suspense, proving that
no</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>visualization overkill is needed in order to create
a good movie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
