Oh, this is too true.  There is absolutely nothing to see in the state
of the art these days.  The newest computers are big boxes, the disk
drives are all sealed and you can't even see the disk, and the latest
tape drives from IBM are cartridge drives with no great big reels to watch.
I mean seriously folks, computer rooms are getting boring.  What are people
going to see when they see the next generation of movies with computers in
them?
