Agree on Cuckoo's Egg! I watched it first on PBS (Nova, I think?) and distinctly remember that there was a scene that strongly implied/kinda showed Stoll and his girlfriend in the shower. When I got a copy years later on video, it had been cut. I still have a copy of the book. I'd helped my mom out with some mainframe jobs at her work at Ohio State and taken a SNOBOL community class there in the early '80s so I was already familiar with the billing and picking up printouts, etc. I found it very interesting seeing more of the behind-the-scenes setups.
