I showed this to a friend today. He understood, but I know I will have to explain it to some people, so I decided I would brain-barf here.
Simply put, the reason I despise television shows like this is not because they give crap information about a system which is personal to me. I would have been equally disgusted if they had shown an Atari 800XL with a Zilog Z8 "chipset" or such ilk. The bottom line is that someone gets paid to write these shows, then someone gets paid to consult and fact-check. A quick minute or two on Wikipedia, FFS, could have provided plenty of ACCURATE information.
This makes any other "realistic" information in any such show immediately lose credibility. Yes, I know, fiction, and all that, blah blah. So for those who can immerse themselves in a story built upon inaccurate information, please, do enjoy.
Oh, then there is how every computer operation has to "beep" or some kind of drive clicking noise as accompaniment. My friends laugh at me, but I cringe watching rubbish like that.
So there!
