lol, and that AI was running on 1 meg of main storage, if that much, and probably a few terabytes of DASD.
I use to work on those old swing arm reel to reel tape drives. They were a nightmare for me. The head azimuth and skew adjustment was done with oscilloscope.
I read the novel in the midst of a scifi novel binge in the late 60s-the movie reflected its 'state of the art' interpretation; I read several other AI novels and found myself wondering what was going to happen. 'When Harley was one' was inspired and I thought that all the millions of computers hooked up could do this...
Excellent film.

And here we are..... 😯
I remember seeing this as a teenager. I have a VHS copy. It’s old, so I can’t attest to the quality.
I searched for, and found, a digitally remastered version on DVD. They are out there. I keep it on my shelf, right next to "Blazing Saddles"
Might be worth buying one of those vhs-digitizers so you can rip it to your computer
I own the Criterion version of this. Great film.
