h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Should I list each series/film/ etc in alphabetical order? Or am I being an anorak?

The Matrix is one big computer, the agents can be seen as individual processes.
I don't think you should list them alphabetically. Do them in whichever order you feel is 'right'.
Tron and Lawnmover man are more of 'near future with very futuristic computers', than contemporary. Just because there are no hovercars and spaceships doesn't mean it isn't SF. Hackers, the Net, Sneakers, etc. are contemporary computers.
War Games is closer to the border and is one you should have in contemporary.

And I'm going to be a pain and say I still think you should include TIM from the Tomorrow People in the TV section.

Well, where else would you put him? TV series came before the books...

It was more of insisting TIM was included at all. I've mentioned it before on another thread and a lack of response gave me the impression AC wasn't keen on putting TIM in.

Oh course he should be there! He's a computer in a SF series, isn't he?

Yeah, its not that I don't want to include him, it's just that I never saw the series and never read the books, so I don't know much about him. I onjly saw the revamped series (with wozzis name from neighbours) which of course, doesn't have a TIM.

Please give me more details, or a website where I can find info.

I'm off to move TRON and Lawnmower man.

Thanks for the input.

Basically, TIM is a gift to the Tomorrow People from the Galactic Trig, he has a male voice (obviously) and is self aware, he is telepathic, and part-organic. Scroll down to his entry here http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~davej/ttp/chr_info_t.htm for more info.

TIM is in!

I have split, moved and resubmitted these entries:

As suggested it has been split into books, tv, film, androids (which I draw distiction between computers) and comtemporary.

Thanks Kerr for supplying the TIM facts, I was a bit stuck for a connection yesterday.

Right AC, I'm off to have a look through your entries.
