It's called the Physics of Star Trek..I've got a copy..it says most of it is physically impossible..but not everything..transporters were one of those 'nuh-uh's..;) I suppose Fortran could be that old, but I think it's a red herring; the teletype doesn't look like a 50's version..I used to see these when I was in college in the 70's..;) Actually, the console behind it looks more like a power station substation (have seen a few of those in my time..;) but as Patsy once said it's only a model..;)
I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
