In the movie War Games with Matthew Broderick, what was the computer he used to hack into the WOPOR?

I say it is a commodore 64...but my boyfriend says it is another more obscure brand. We were just talking last and this came up.

If you have a link on this info please post it.....I have search all over the internet and can't find it.

I wasn't directing that towards you. But a lot of 'clubber's' are young ones and probably have never heard of it, let alone seen it!

It was also a joke, hence the :lol

Great flick. I remember Ma Bell wigged out when they showed Matthew Broderick using a pull-tab (yes, young-ins...a pull tab) to get a free phone call.
