I just caught the opening episode of the new PBS Mystery series
"Game, Set, and Match". The story revolves around a paranoid British
Intellegence agent who is to go to East Berlin to help bring out one
of their top operatives. In one scene, Bernard Samson goes down to the
basement vaults where the computers are kept, and requests a disk which
is supposed to have the profile of the german agent. The women hands him
a blue 3 1/2 disk, he prompltly slips it into an Amiga, the computer of
choice for British Spies.

The display had several windows displaying a picture of the agent and
personnel details.

This was the A1000 by the way.

I wonder what computers the KGB users? Probably MSX machines. . .
