Yes!  In fact, I was going to mention this before too.  I guess after
the fire sale, the UNIX PC has become an inexpensive prop for television
and movies.  What I thought was funny was I saw the UNIX PC diagnostic
disk up on the screen in _Broadcast News_.  Geez, that's a "high-tech"
word processor if I ever saw one ;-)   It was also in the movie _Robocop_,
and I'm sure there are more!
