'''Gordon Clark:''' ''(as he is disassembling the IBM PC)'' A personal computer, like any other computer, is just a nothing box full of electronic switches and hardware. You know, the IBM, the Altair, the Apple II it's all the same junk. Anyone can buy all this stuff off the shelf right now.It's called "open architecture". I mean, IBM, they basically don't own anything inside the machine. \\
'''Joe [=MacMillian=]:''' Except the chip. \\
'''Gordon Clark:''' Yeah, well, except what's ''on'' the chip. The BIOS is on one of these chips, we just don't know which one. The ROM BIOS is the only part of the machine IBM actually designed. I mean, it is the program, it is the magic. The bad news is they copyrighted it and they own how it works. The good news is there's a way around that, sort of. \\
'''Joe [=MacMillian=]:''' Reverse engineering.
-->Joe and Gordon prepare to teardown and reverse engineer the IBM PC.
->'''Gordon Clark:''' ''(At the Cardiff Electric parking lot, showing Joe the box containing a new IBM PC)'' Do you have any idea how expensive this thing was? Donna took the kids to see her brother for the three-day weekend. I faked a fever, so let's turn this thing inside out. \\

->'''Joe [=MacMillian=]:''' Nobody ever got fired for buying an IBM, right? What a fearful way to do business. You've made just enough safe choices to stay alive, but not enough to matter. Is that what you want? You can be more. You want to be more, don't you? The window of oppurtunity is closing. This is your chance. This is not about not losing. This is about you finally having the confidence to walk out on the ledge and know that you're not going to fall.
