Lines: 16 Keywords: apple, user-interfaces >Did everyone notice the Apple IIc, with LCD flat panel display on the beach? 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!) -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
