Whois to the site is www.markmonitor.com.

I dunno what that could mean, as that site looks to be a legit business.

I'm confused. Where did this come from?

Accessing File List B4 - 5735 of 134640 Bytes Loaded


I closed the tab and went back in and it picked up where it let off. Seems to be a counter, almost.

I'm at the Tape Drive loading screen (which is probably a countdown). How did you all get to the print part? I mean I see the option there but I can't type anything in.

top right of the PDP-11 simulator screen. push to minimize and then move the emulator screen and click ok

ETA: PDP-11 was a microcomputer of the 70s so I think it fits into the timeframe of Super8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11

ETA2: The file library seems to download aprox 1 byte every 5 seconds. At this rate, I calculate it will take 10 hours and 45 minutes from now to complete or approximately 1:15PM EST, Friday May 7th.

Forgive me if my math is lacking, BUT:

The number ticks every 5 seconds.

134640 parts. Start at 6000 so subtract those 600 from the total: 128640

Times that by 5, you get 643,200 seconds until the countdown ends.

Divide that by 60, 10720 minutes. Divide THAT by 60, get 179 hours. Which is just around 7 1/2 days. So, probably around Noon on the 15th?

If anyone wants to calculate that exactly... be my guest. It's kinda late.

awesome work guys. posting on here is always much easier than doing it myself Smile

anyways, after telling the prompt (Y), (Y).....(if you tell it (N) you just have to start over)....you get to

Accessing File List B4 - 6010 of 134640 Bytes Loaded

As Vapor mentioned earlier this appears to be a counter...

..as in 6010 people have accessed this site thus far.
I believe this as the number is going up at a very sparatic rate.

This must mean something will happen when it reaches 134640

So go out there and get everyone to this site. WOO!

Nah, the increase definitely look steady. Just around 5 seconds.

Screenshot of the program. Other than the license and the name D. Morris, not too sure what to make of it.

Either way, having as many people as possible looking at this can't hurt.

Keep in mind we don't know this is related at all, it's still just speculation.

You know you're abslutely right. I used the same math but must have missed a digit. I somehow came up with 37,00 seconds.
