...The moment I discovered I'd gotten old was watching Journey to the Far Side of the Sun - AKA Doppelganger in Englandland - and realizing that every single piece of equipment shown in the background of the opening credits I'd actually worked with at least once by 1987.

If you want to really max that feeling out, try watching the opening credits to Billion Dollar Brain sometime...

Joel probably would have had more fun with it, especially if he followed up with a segment where he and the bots built a UNIVAC.

...Ah, the days of helping someone build a Sinclair ZX-80, only to watch him bang his head on the wall for what seemed like ten minutes when one week later the ZX-81 was announced.
