It's quite possible that a Commodore is being used. Remember the Amiga? This computer did special effects for the likes of Babylon 5 and others. Also possible, is the fact that in 1995 when Escom bought Commodore, they produced Pentium computers. Granted 100mhz computers aren't that fast, but you can watch movies with a system at that speed. Since we don't know for a fact what movies were actually being watched, they could have been simple ascii movies many of us have seen on BBS's back in the early 90's, late 80's.
So, I don't find it hard to believe this person has a computer, watching/downloading stuff. But I wonder where is the electricity coming from? How is the internet being accessed? I just find the email more that unbelieveable, even if you try to account for a few "possibilities".
