    I'm not sure if you guys have heard this before, but the red LED light panels in the control room of Jurassic Park were part of an actual computer, a connection machine CM-5 by a company called Thinking Machines. I always thought Mr. DNA was just talking about generic super computers...

    I ran across it from the IMDB page trivia. Actually a pretty interesting read.
