Star Trek IV "Computer??"

[GreggBz]

From the Wikipedia article about Star Trek IV.


"The model of Apple Macintosh computer shown in the Plexicorp office scene is the Mac Plus. According to rumor, it was intended to be an Amiga, but Commodore required the producers to purchase a computer while Apple was willing to lend them the machine shown. Amigas were used to produce the screens of the Vulcan computer used by Spock to re-train himself in logic."
  :getmad:  :cry:


I wonder how many Star Trek fans bought a Mac Plus instead.

That would have propagated the notion that Star Trek was unrealistic.
I mean, talking computers? HAHAHA in 1986!
Whatever.

Well, if nothing else it serves as an illustration of their flawed mentality.

It was also a fantastically memorable scene, especially for all of us computer geeks.
