I believe that Zero Cool is a character in the movie Hackers, though I haven't seen it.

googles

Yup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film)

Cast

  • Jonny Lee Miller as Dade Murphy / "Zero Cool" / "Crash Override"

Apparently it's the main character.

That was my first thought and the second one was "dang I'm old".

That movie will be 30 next year. I’m old with you buddy.

I'll join this.

I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said "bike from 1982, over forty years old" (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize... Shit... That was forty years ago.

Someone recently told me they bought a "vintage truck". I asked them what year the truck was made, expecting something from the 60's or so....but apparently 1985 is vintage now. 😟

I will refuse to call most cars made in the 80s or later "vintage" even though that's the technically correct word. "Garbage", yes. It's just not the same when it's just a shitbox full of dry-rotting composites and plastics. Older cars were something you wanted to keep around. Modern "old" cars are something you're embarrassed to be driving around in.

It was easier to reach the 1980s than most for TimeSquirrel.

Sounds like you need to watch one of the best technology documentaries of all time.
