Hey folks,

Friday night I watched the last ABC episode of Max Headroom.  It was fun,
as usual.  They even had a little plug at the end that was pretty funny
(in the we have not yet begun to fight vein).  I wonder who's got the
episodes they didn't get around to showing....

But my question for this group has been bubbling for a while and is only
now coming to a head....  Where does this collection of cyber thinkers place
Max & co. in the cyberpunk world?  

I would offer evidence that his makers were up on it.  In a recent episode, 
the boy genius character was hacking his way through a network and the letters
ICE clearly showed on the bottom of the monitor.

( Gotta go.  Have to catch the next jump for Chiba.  I'm due for a new Hitachi
neuro-socket.  My deck is just too fast for my old Toshiba. )
