It's kind of cool to be able to spot a vintage computer that you recognize
in a movie. I never noticed the computers in "Secret to my Success" until I
found a AT&T 6300, and then the computers on the desks might as well of had
flashing red lights on them. "Hey! I've got one of those."

There may have been a 7300 also, since AT&T probably had the advertising
rights but there were several 6300's around on different desks.

Having supported both beasts I'm pretty certain it was a 6300. There
have been movies with the 7300 and 3B1 in them. I know their keyboards
(one of my favorite) anywhere! The 6300 was not one of my favorites!
