Deeper Understanding

Hi all,

C'on guys... don't try to defend the undefendable. IMHO, DU is by far her
worst song. The melody is quite good, but she spoiled it with all the beeps
beeps and the silly lyrics. It's the one Kate song I just can't listen to.

Again, that's IMHO.

** What ??? **  When the girl is trying to hack it's UNIX ( if my memory
serves me correctly, she says "oh, good, its unix" )  she just wanders
through some rendered mazes, kind of a VRML world. It's more like Doom than
an OS. Is *that* a real machine? .  Same thing happens here: IMHO, they
spoiled the movie with this scene.

I used to do that a lot with my Apple ][+ and my //e, writing Applesoft and
6502 programs. Those were the days!!!
