That scene sort of spoiled the movie for me afterwards...Yes, Terminators are
programmed and created by souped-up Apple II Pluses in the future!  Probably a
scheme gone amuck perpetrated by insane Apple II owners to rid the world of
Macintoshes!

I've noted that wherever there is a movie scene calling for Success and Power
imagery, you'll find a Mac lurking in the background somewhere.  On TV,
Moonlighting had Macs all over the place.  In Miami Vice, they replaced the
jet-black Amiga 1000 with Mac IIs.  The Amiga world was crowing their triumph
over mass media a few years ago because of that Amiga...heh heh.
