There was some movie magic, so no running version of promis. I did the
screen design myself for the TVI 950 based on pictures of screens running
the software that Christian and Zach provided.

They came last year and did a day of filming after a couple days of setting
up the set at my place.  Supposedly I was the only person they could find
with a VAX 11/780 running that had somewhere they could film it (presumably
also in their budget).

They did pay me a bit for the location, but the whole experience was great.
I'm happy it finally came out so I can talk about it.
