Towards the end of the film, during the Bluestar montage, there's a scene of Wildman on his boat, looking at the stocks on his computer.
I was a kid in the eighties, so was that possible back then? How would the computer receive info in the middle of the ocean?

Maybe back then people were so new to computers that the filmmakers were able to flub that concept without anyone questioning it haha
