description: "An exhaustive catalog of the real hardware behind every terminal in Jurassic Park."
---
An exhaustively researched catalog of every real computer that appears on screen in Jurassic Park, matched against period catalogs and press photos: a PowerBook 100, an SGI Indigo, a Motorola Envoy PDA, a Thinking Machines CM-5. It even tracks down the exact machine behind Lex's "This is a Unix system, I know this!" moment, with the actual file manager she's clicking through.
