Wait. Didn't I see this in a 80s movie where some kids used a ?keyboard? to autodial a radiostation to get concert tickets for somekind of save the Homeless/Whales/Africa benefit? You know, the one with the chick who had the legs and the hair, and the annoying kid who said something corny and the movie closes with everyone
laughing?

Man how the the 80s did rule.
