I know the computer in Alien was called "Mother". We've got one here
at MIT named after it; people never understand.

And the Wargames computer was WOPR, wasn't it? I should know
Asimov's computer's name, but it's been a long time. Maybe it was
Multivac? I don't remember computers in "I Dream of Jeannie" or
Rollerball at all, though.
