Did anyone else get into computers as a kid because of this show? I think I looked up "hexadecimal" in the school library and went from there.
favorite tidbits on the show
-Mainframe is designed to look like a hard drive
-Entire show takes place over two weeks of real time
-User doesn't give a shit about the PC and just uses it to play games and gets too many viruses
-First and second season could have been as dark and great as the third one but all the TV networks insisted animation was only ever going to be a child's show and denied all of the interesting scripts
What was that show called reboot? Something like that.
Also I got into computers to look at free porn. People these days have no idea how lucky they are not waiting for a butter face to load on a 56k and that 5ish minutes of waiting for that thumbnail to load just to realize it looked WAY better as a thumb, and having free sites and not free tours.
I was already a lil baby PC gamer when this show came out, rocking commander keen and civilization, but it was definitely responsible for my eventual interest in how the hardware actually interacted with the software to actually make what I saw on the screen. The whole conceit of the show basically is an exercise in imagining a fanciful version of that interaction, which unfortunately didn't make sense to me a the time because I didn't know the differences between mainframe computers and desktop computers.
Nowadays I think its kinda weird the user plays so many games on a mainframe.

i find it's just as hard to find porn now
not because it's hard to find or download porn, that's easy
but the availability has caused my tastes to get very specific, so i pass on most of it

In the first and second season the networks wouldn't even let Dot have two boobs.

tron was sci fi
matrix was sci fi so it's basically still just sci fi

Not that show, but Cyberchase I think is what got me into computers. I don't remember if it tries to ever use real terminology or not.
