There is a Cold War thriller, which for the life of me I can’t remember the name…. Anyways, about a radar station north of the Arctic Circle, probably the DEW line, in the dead of the winter.

Classic plot: a bad guy, presumably a Soviet operative, thrashes the station, including the only short wave radio. Left several dead operators but our hero somehow survives.

Our hero finds a damaged resistor on the radio, and proceeded to fix it with the graphite from a #2 pencil.

@20:35 in the video, he is working on an open Amiga 1000 computer.  LOL, 1993, they should have been old and long gone. @21:35, the painted the rear plastic bezel black. :(

You’ll probably know if it’s for you after watching Episode 1.
Then get ready for about 39 more.

I wanted a rude username:

There was a 1986 MacGyver episode with this theme: The Human Factor. With Wargames and similar, homicidal AIs were very much in the Zeitgeist.
