Though the Apple ][ has long sinced ebbed in computer sales, I'm pretty
sure that it will make a comeback in the distant future. Not only will
the Klingons benefit from Terran technology, but computer/robot assasins
will based on the 6502 architecture as well . . .

In the Arnold Schwarzenagor thriller, The Terminator, one will notice the
6502 assembly code appearing on the left side of Terminator's-eye view
camera shots.

If annyone who does 6502 code has the movie on video, I'd be interested
to find out exactly what that code does or where it came from.
