    “Gir”, Mike Fink, Thomas “Todd” Fischer (August 08, 2008)On March 4, 2006 I received the following e-mail from Wargames’ Special Effects Supervisor Mike Fink who gives this account of early to mid-production management turnover:Hi Folks –

Just wanted to thank you all (especially “Todd” Fischer) for the nice mention that I read when a friend forwarded the string about WarGames on Engadget for their Movie Magic Friday piece. I then went to your website and read the story how you were involved. This string looks so old, it may be that Engadget isn’t even around any more. I haven’t checked.

Anyway, it was a shock to read Sosna’s account and a pleasure to see your answer. I’m still asked about that computer when I do talks at film and computer graphics schools (yes, now I’m old enough to be asked to talk to people not much younger than I was when we made WarGames).
