no qy to know, I brought 20 with me to the set, in Quebec. I am going
tonight to see the movie.
I guess the cat's out of the bag now.
The movie people contacted us a year or two ago. They wanted 3 kazillion IBM PCs. We told them we had some and had access to more, but not 3 kazillion. But we didn't want to lose the opportunity, so we partnered with a smaller museum in Canada (near where they filmed) and also with Bill directly. We came up with the 3 kazillion units. Bill delivered them and brought them back. It was one heck of a project!
FYI - the small museum fell through, at least as far as the IBM PCs go. These were all MARCH-supplied units. If anyone is in the south western Phila region I plan to go to the movie tonight. There is a 3d showing at the Regal Brandywine TownCenter @ 7PM. I'd love to meet anyone who's interested in seeing the movie tonight. It should be a good movie. I was on set for a couple of days, I saw everything...I was Magneto's circular control room, the Cerebrum, the mansion, the Egyptian pyramid, everything. I ate lunch with the crew. Other than US customs attempting to return with it was a lot of fun. I have not been allowed to say anything until the movie came out..Hard to keep this all a secret. whew glad I can spill the beans now. Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists should be in the credits at the end, watch for it. b -- @ BillDeg: Web: vintagecomputer.net Twitter: @billdeg <https://twitter.com/billdeg> Youtube: @billdeg <https://www.youtube.com/user/billdeg> Unauthorized Bio <http://www.vintagecomputer.net/readme.cfm>
