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)
