I find that rather hard to believe, since that movie was released in
1976. The Apple II was still being designed at the time, and IIRC the
portable was quite some time later.
On the other hand, Roy Scheider's character (Dr. Haywood Floyd) is seen
using an Apple IIc with the optional (and very expensive at the time) LCD
display while sitting on the beach in the movie "2010: The Year We Make
Contact". (or did I muck the title up?)
Did I miss the battery pack option somewhere???
