I was watching Terminator 2 the other day and noticed the character John Connor using a small piece of Atari hardware to work out the pin no. for a stolen credit card and steal cash.
It looked interesting so I went to the Atari museum website and found out it was their palmtop computer the Portfolio, quite a neat little device for its day.

Portfolio

Cool...I bet its like a gaming PC..

Though...Alienware rocks

I would love to know what software that palmtop was using to work out the credit card pin number. From what I could see in the movie Connor had the stolen credit card attached to an IDE cable and the cable connected to an IDE port on the back of the Portfolio. As the character said, "Easssy Money."

How is a palmtop like a gaming PC?

could be like a thing of the future..

Except it came out like 9 years ago.

I guess im behind technology then.

In that case your question becomes really stupid

No, I was asking it because you said it is. It's still a valid question.

Alienware makes good PC's with an extraordinay case. The case, however, adds about 1k to the final price which is god damn unbelievably stupid.
