Colossus The Forbin Project was shown on TV in the early 1970s. I 
watched it on a TV sitting on top of the master control console of a 
computer whose job was controlling airplanes that were there to shoot 
down Russian nuclear bombers with nuclear tipped air to air missiles. 
It was a bit of a weird experience.
