Jurassic Park's Screenplay Makes More Sense Than I Thought

All these years I heard Mr. DNA as saying: "thinking machines, supercomputers break down the strand in minutes." 

I always thought... huh... that seems a little redundant.


Then I realized, thanks to Paul Ceruzzi's History of Modern Computing, that Thinking Machines was a brand of supercomputers!
 Like, an actual, real-life brand.

So he's saying: "Thinking Machines supercomputers"


What's more, it was based in Cambridge.


Hence:
 "Call Nedry's people... in Cambridge."


Mind is blown.
