Yes! I remember the worms and the strange writing at the end of it.
Furthermore, I attended school in Kentucky, so we had ready access to KET programs.

Yeah, I thought that ending was actually pretty well done, all things considered. (Also got a kick out of the punch card montage to show off the xtreme computing powerz.)
I'd never seen this film until just now, so it was a fun new-not-new thing to watch.

Yeah the basics of the story stuck with me for over 30 years. Glad you were able to point me in the right direction.
