Pearl computer

Latest revision as of 02:18, 23 August 2011

This computer was located inside the Pearl hatch. It had the same basic configuration as the Swan computer, with the addition of a dot-matrix printer. Locke discovered its screen to be displaying the prompt "Print log? Y/N". Upon entering "Y", the computer's printer output the log printout. ("?")

Notes

The Swan Orientation film stated that since the Incident, all protocol had been observed, meaning that the Pearl monitored the Swan in two ways: first by watching the participants on the screens and second by using their computer to know whether or not and when they have pressed the button in the Swan.
This was presumably the same prop as the Station 3 Computer, as evidenced by the Swan logo on the monitor.
In keeping with the rest of the vintage Apple hardware, the printer was an Imagewriter II, first produced in 1985.

-This computer is located inside [[The Pearl]] hatch.  It has the same basic configuration as the [[Station 3 Computer]], with the addition of a printer. Just as the [[Pearl Orientation Video|Pearl Orientation Video]] uses a more recent medium than the Swan Orientation Film (i.e. [[U-matic]] tape versus 16mm film, respectively), the computer terminal inside the Pearl uses a typeface with serifs, a feature of slightly more advanced computers. However note that the Swan Computer's [[System Failure]] message utilized a typeface with serifs.
