[Simh] 'Showstopper'

>Sounds a bit hyped...

Well, no more so than 'The Soul Of A New Machine'.  This
was in the days when the general public were still prepared
to be amazed at, and interested in, stories of programmers
that stayed up all night, etc.

Programmers probably have a cooler image than they did when
I were a lad, but some of the 'outsider mystique' has surely
been lost now that everyone does it  :-)
