Too bad:
So I was only a couple of years older than her in that movie when it came out in 1993 and knew UNIX and I still facepalmed at that line. It’s delivered in the silliest way.
My dad worked at HP when that came out, and had brought an old HPUX Unix machine home. No GUI to be found, let alone a 3d filesystem GUI
If I remember right that was an SGI machine in the movie. I haven’t seen the flick in ages and I haven’t sat in front of an SGI machine in even longer.
It was a real file manager running on IRIX, though.

I would’ve thought you were the coolest ever, I wasn’t even 10 when it came out and thought computers were super interesting but my parents both couldn’t afford and didn’t have any desire to buy one. School time was limited to at best an hour a week and that was always for a directed activity.
I look at it now as someone in IT and can roll my eyes at the goofiness of it but I fucking loved that scene when I saw it the first time
I grew up in a college town with a dad that was interested in computers but didn’t understand them, so I inherited them when he gave up. It gave me a lot of experience by the time that movie came out. I was already in high school too, so that helped. But if you wanted to use the internet back then, almost pre-web, knowing UNIX really helped.
I had SUCH a crush on her when I was a kid just because of this scene.
Guess that explains why they’re so easy to infect all the time. lol
I like that episode where the Enterprise gets infected by that ancient virus and then in the end the big ’ it’s so crazy it just might work’ plan is to basically just reformat the computer.
Lol, exactly.
Then there’s Voyager’s computer getting infected, literally, from (checks notes) …homemade cheese.
And they say root beer is insidious
HAHAHA I’m still wondering how the hell a super advanced starship just gets infected with the most basic thing in existence 😂😂
I bet once Starfleet reviewed all of Voyager’s mission logs, they either vaccinated existing bio-neural gel pack ships against cheese and/or, if still in production, added “expose to various types of cheese” to their unit tests. lol
Holy shit these dudes were still using those dumb ass goo packs the entire time they were gone!
You know how sometimes you watch something on TV and wonder if the writers have been stalking you
Did you do that yourself, Guy? It’s really well-done!
Gosh no, it’s another one out of my “the Enterprise runs Windows 95” collection.
I can make a simple gif, but nothing like this. The reflection! Big props to who ever made it… 30 years ago.
The reflection is what makes it!
Yeah for a second I thought it was really difficult to make, then I realized it’s just adding an image at like half opacity. Props to whoever made this with software available in 1994 lol
This gif is as old as the internet. A classic!
This scene cracks me up because I have to assume the entity controlling data at the time was using his full strength in frustration, but the panel doesn’t just explode from being punched by Android fists.
