BBC Radio 1 ran a competition based on Hackers, where you had to answer four simple questions, write the answers on a postcard, and send them in. It tied in with the video release and as I’d actually seen the film, and was fairly familiar with the technology anyway I thought I’d have a go. Several months later, I get a phone call at work to say I’d won, that’s great, I sad, thanks for letting me know.
Day later, I get another call from the same woman, asking if I was available to travel the following April, at which point I had to ‘fess up and say I’d completely forgotten what the prize was!
She laughed, said, I thought you sounded a bit casual about it, the prize was a trip for two to LA for a week, with a hire car, and a visit to the Universal Studios lot!
For that, I will forgive Hackers any damn thing!
Flew with Air New Zealand, it was a fantastic holiday.
