The date from the movies was August 29th, 1997.

I guess we've been safe for a while.

Or we're all sleeping in giant pod bays with our brains connected to a giant matrix...

->> With the metallic dyes used in the SX70, those images could have almost survived the death and destruction of Skynet ;-o

They certainly survived longer than the organic dyes in the Kodak instant product....

Gotta love Arnold. Guy made a career in movies and politics based on his Austrian accent and weight lifting...

->> Mark,

You're spot on! I remembered that it was a Polaroid, but not that it was an SX-70. I've got one of those stored away somewhere. Took a lot of fun pictures with it back in the day.

Anyway, great movie!
