Not a model M.
In "STIV : The Voyage Home", Scotty talks to a Macintosh Plus.  When 
somebody hands him the mouse, he then thinks that he needs to talk into 
that as a microphone.  Then he proceeds to do things that were not only 
impossible with such a machine, but would require extreme familiarity 
with it, which he initially seemed not to have.   They save the whales, 
but at least it ends with the 20th century woman rejecting Kirk.   Should 
ba a clip on YouTube.
There is a wikipedia argument page about the product placement.
