From: <latzko@nb> In response to Tom Galloway unless my eyes were totally shot when I saw 2010 ( possible considering the company ) the computer on the beach was a Hewlett Packard HP-110. A much better computer than the Apple //c but still not what one could expect for thirty-five years from now. Even a Convergent Workslate may have looked better. cheers alex <latzko@ru-blue> <!harvard!topaz!andromeda!latzko.uucp> ------

Well, sorry to say this, but it really was an Apple //c with the optional and (dare I say it) rare LCD display. The HP's display is very visibly hinged, and somewhat thicker. Also, those oversize D connectors with the thumbknobs are rather obvious. And of course, Apple did negotiate for product placement in the film. A shame they didn't use the stuff with Floyd's Mac, also made available for the film. Re: last issue of Softalk magazine, circa Sept 84. -Dave Hsu (hsu@cvl)

<<< No, Floyds computer was a apple II-C with LCD display. Apple had anounced that the LCD would be available by fall which would have been close to the release date for 2010. John Eaton !hplabs!hp-pcd!john
