And no external disk drive.  And I think it was an "old" Mac, i.e., a 512
or 128.  Set designers seem to like the machine, though.  It's small, and 
shows how "in" the stars are...:-)  

Once, long ago, didn't they have EPSONS in the office? I also seem to remember 
an episode where the security office somewhere had a row of five Macs acting 
as MONITORS.  Each one had black electrical tape across the disk drive and 
logo... :-)

And now the "value" part of the message: the few pictures I have seen of Macs
turned on have been on the news.  They are always in the background, and in-
variably FLICKER like mad.  I know people on this newsgroup have often written 
that it's possible to aim a camera at the screen and get a good picture.  Can
someone comment on the other type of "background" filming?
