Um, I worked in a theater a decade ago and unless you've got a baby with you their going to wonder what the towel is for. With out getting into the grissly details, at the theater I worked for a patron liked Linda Hamilton (T2) a little more than is legal in public.
About which part?
James Cameron? Well he did put his name on some glowing comments that he wrote and were included in the Japanese box set.
The rest? Consedering that a number of people (including the sexually confused creators of the Matrix) have fingered the movieb to being as influentaul as Blade Runner.
So where's the sarcasm
I had the chance to work at one of the rare exceptions, I'm sure some had a bad experiences, it's inevitable but we were complemented by industry reviewers on more than one occasion for our support. We had a free 800 number and actually did a decent job of providing solutions. On top of that our department was reasonably fun. How many people can say that in cubicle land?
Our secret? NO CALL TIME QOUTAS!! Sure we cared how many calls you took but in the end the big stat was available/unavailable time. Didn't matter if their was a slight pause in the call que giving you a break, didn't matter if it took 40 minutes to solve a problem, just don't spend 3hrs sitting in the can. But then our company was in the buisness of selling video cards and getting it to work so you wouldn't take it back to Fry's and exchange it.
If only we could have remained competitive with Nvidia.:)
Part of the reason we were able to exist in such a land of milk and honey was because the 3dfx support was a better organised and larger version of the already good STB support we did before merging with 3dfx.
We were able to solve most problems... That is... Unless you were running that damn "such n such" motherboard with the freaking (insert cheap-ass brand) AGP chipset, and you've got the DAMN WRONG chipset drivers loaded in windows, because like a MORON! you decided to just move your hard drive to the new mother board WITHOUT reinstalling (it used to really matter more, honest). And now you call us wondering why you can't get 200fps like the gamer-website-reviewer goofs who were over clocking their systems to the point of "BULLSHIT, TOTAL BULLSHIT" cause "god knows" if they get just another 10fps they might Out-Frag the other guy.... sigh, that place was fun.

So your "Equipment" still works but your eye sight is shot?
Which it is only fitting that the opening credits on ep #3 and 4 looks like GITS is borrowing ideas back from them. :)
Actually the Wachowski brothers themselves have noted GITS as a significant influence.
I myself don't have a link on hand but what I can tell you is if you have more than 2eps to a disk then it's pirate.
:)
Oh wait I do have link in my head.
