| Columbo operating the SAGE computer |
Have you ever noticed the large computers in the computer operations room of movies and TV shows? They kinda of all look alike.
There is a good reason for that. These computers are remnants and copies of the SAGE A/N FSQ-7 computers, the largest computers ever built. This computer system was sold off to movie and TV productions companies and suppliers. The computer lives on in movies and TV shows.

| Even on "That's So Raven"! Nothing is sacred... |
The SAGE computer was really large with a lot of parts. It's parts and copies have been used over and over in movies and TV shows. It it embodies all we envision a
really really super computer looks like.
