Just another example of the bizarre anachronisms in this movie.  I know the
Apple II design has been long-lived, but heaven help us if it lasts until
2010!

Speaking of technology, wasn't anyone else dismayed at the 1950's level
of user-interface on the Leonov: buzzes, whistles and all sorts of gee-gaws,
and row upon row of SWITCHES!  My God, we're dumping this today.  How can
it other than insult us to see this proposed as the leading edge of hi-tech
30 years from now?  (One friend of mine pointed out that this was a
SOVIET ship, and hence was to be expected!)
