If we think the super8 was shot in 79, Josh would have been 16, if 1963 is his birthday.

If he shot it had he blocked it out of his mind for all these years? where had he been keeping hte film, surly not in his mothers hat all this time? maybe he didn't even realise what was on the film until he recently saw it OR perhaps, he saw the film for the first time recently thought that is the scariest thing I ever saw and wrote that on the film to send to whoever he has been communicationg with over the PDP-11.

which brings me back to this question - why is he using a PDP-11 simulator now???? WHY!!!!



Becasue it would be very hard for the government to track him and using such outdated equipment. Think about the programming language, although not very difficult but who knows it today?

 		Also has anyone notice in the background of several of the photos on the cork board the invatation to something, on the part that we can see says the 16th 2010 the afternoon and the third line looks like "any Reprieve". Reprieve from what?
Nevermind got a closer look and it is the invatation to the funeral for josh minker's mother.

That's my point, in his HLM blog he doesn't sound like he know's much about computers - how would he know to use or set up the PDP-11 simulater?

First, the guy's using a PDP-11 Simulator, not the real thing, it's like using an NES emulator on your computer to play old nintendo games.

Second, so long as the guy was sending stuff over the internet, he could still be tracked down by the government, and the programming languages used on old PDP-11's would never come into it. Mainly because it's a simulator, which means it's using modern programming languages to mimic the old system, and also because the programming languages used to create your operating system or the programs you use have nothing to do with the information you put out on the internet. That information is sent out using standardized that any computer can understand and send out following the internet protocols. The information might be encrypted to be harder for people to steal, but encryption has nothing to do with programming languages.
