I concur. In 1982, EAI was using a mainframe computer and dumb terminals for word processing. Although I was in the Engineering Dept., I do not know whether they used CAD -- I think it was all still on paper. C64's strike me as completely inappropriate for a 1982 office -- but what do I know.

They need it for an office scene taking place in 1982. A newspaper office.
In 1982 what enterprise-level newspaper publishing system would be using brand-new C64's, the year the C64 was launched, for it's operations?
This is not the first time film/tv has requested props that were historically inaccurate, but wow, they're way off here if they think any newspaper office would have been using 40-column C64's for any professional purpose.
