- After viewing the film Back to the Future, Matt takes a nap but has a disturbing dream. He sees himself 50 years into the future, and his town has become a large city. Dozens of computer businesses exist in the city. However, he is still selling only 1200 computers a year at his store. He observes that computer prices are now $900 and his ATC is still $1000.
