I didn't read the first rash of postings on BTTF because I hadn't seen it yet. So, apologies if necessary. Anyway, In the opening scenes of the film, when Marty comes in to Doc Brown's lab and starts turning on equipment, one of the first things he does is to turn a key switch on a panel. In that very brief shot I thought I saw a Dymo tape label under the switch that read 'CRM-114'. Did anyone else see this or did I imagine it? If it was real I can only take it as a reference to _Dr. Strangelove_ where CRM-114 was the designation of the device which prohibited receiving any messages that did not begin with the proper 3 letter code prefix. ---- William J.
