[net.movies] computer name in Wargames

dpa@ihuxe.UUCP (07/08/83)

Scott Thompson was right that 'JOSHUA' was the correct name in Wargames.
However, 'JOSHUA' was the login id/password used to gain access to the
computer not the name of the computer.  The computers name was WOPR which
stands for something I can't remember.

'WOPR' was indeed the name of the computer, 'Wartime Operations'
something or other, but remember tha Dr. Falkan lovingly referred
to WOPR as Joshua.

               "WOPR" stands for "War Operational Planned Response", which
        makes absolutely no sense to me and leads to the possibilty that
	Burger King was actually a sponsor of the movie.

WOPR stands for War Operation Plan Response.
