From the movie "War Games"... Interestingly enough, the name of the computer was WOPR.....and not WOPL... I think it is close enough though...This has been on my mind since the White Oaked Phas Linears picked up the nickname WOPL or PLWO....I think this should make it official ...WOPL........

Sutton I have a great story for ya, way back in the mid 80's I was living in Manhattan, standing in the middle of Grand Central Station was the actor John Wood, he played Dr. Falken in the movie, remember when he stood looking in awe at the big computer screens as the numbers ran over and over? Well he had that same look as he watched the times of departure and arrivals flipped on the big boards in the station, I must have caught the right place at the right moment in time to have seen that, you can't make this stuff up folks, I've been blessed with many experiences like these.

John Wood as Dr. Stephen Falken
