I've got that movie on DVD, most of the sound is very good there, IMHO.
It seems a popular device to have text appear with a sound, especially the
ever popular green glowing terminal that sounds like a old-fashioned printer
while text comes in. More could be done with this, like extra emphasis on
closing statements with a ";" or different sounds for different groups of
characters.
It's a nice technique.
Yours,
Kas.
