Apple // spotted on Marvel's Agent's of SHIELD S04E09
by Jeffrey Brace 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

I was watching Marvel's Agent's of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 9 and the power goes out from a robot attack and they have to resort to "primitive" pre-internet methods of getting the base running without using "hackable" methods. First, I see a 5 1/4" floppy, then a glimpse of two Apple //s! It is at 32:20 I guess with so many Commodore 64's out there in TV shows that an Apple // was bound to show up. ;) -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Fyi -- Our own Frank O., who (literally) wrote the book about the Apollo Guidance Computer, is giving a talk on this subject Sunday at 2pm. It will be in building behind the satellite dish (down the road from the main InfoAge campus -- 2300 Marconi Rd.) ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan(a)vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation
