I think this has been discussed before, but the thing I like best about the
apple showing up on T.V. is how many labs STILL use vinatge ][+'s...

I mean stuff like
Narrator: "The Information is gathered by an automatic system...."

and there is an apple in the corner hooked up to all of this ungodly looking
equipment.  As a matter of fact.... yep, I was right.  There is an Apple
(looks like another ][+) on page 81 of June's _Discover_ magazine.  It is
being used to model yawns in humans. 

Oh, BTW I was watching _Family Ties_ the other day (ok, ok, so I was REALLY
bored!) and I noticed that Alex Keaton (aka mr. yuppie) has a _Macintosh_

So, the lesson is: wanna be a scientist? get a ][+
wanna be a greedy Yupster? get a Mac. ;-)
