Yeah, I had noticed them putting the tape reels on backward.
They also had a Decwriter II in the scene set in 1969.  Not
only was that a bit early for a Decwriter II, but the big systems
at MSC were IBM.  I was also terribly amused at the idea that
they needed a strip of paper tape to log in to the system.
