Unfortunalty my VCR is down, and I did not tape the program.
But yes, there are several shots of people using Imlac's, probalby
playing Mazewar in
some shots, in others where you get to see the Imlac screen its full of
slightly flickering text.
None of the shots showed the optional programmers console, but perhaps
this was not such
a common accessory?
My Imalc is still set-up in my living room, not far from the TV, so it
was really easy to spot the
machine sitting next to the TV on the TV itself! No question, they were
Imlacs.

There was actual footage of Imlacs? I would really like to see that...
What did
it show? Any chance someone recorded this and I can get a copy of the
section
on Imlacs? I checked the History Channel web page for show times and
it did
not list and future showings of this episode.

Just curious... did anybody else watch
the History Channel last
night, 7:00PM Eastern Time. The Modern Marvels episode was about the
creation of the internet. Rather fascinating to me (who learned some
things), and kinda neat to put faces to names...
Not to mention the pictures of the old, err, classic
computers and
terminals...
