This episode has been out for about a year, I'm a bit late on this, but was watching Black Mirror on Netflix Season 7 Episode 6, the last episode of the season, called: USS Callister Into Infinity - and a Macintosh Classic was featured prominently. Was surprised to see it, wondered if anyone else saw it and got excited too :D

If there is already a dedicated thread to Compact Macs in TV & Movies, let me know and I'll add this there. I did search but didn't find anything.

There is a deliciously old school website dedicated to computer appearances in movies: Starring the Computer. They seem to have missed this episode of Black Mirror!

I recently rewatched the (very much NSFW) 1992 movie Single White Female and was surprised to see a few Macintoshes (that were pretty much top of the line when the movie was made). There’s even a strange looking laptop running Mac OS that I didn’t recognize: an Outbound Laptop, a portable Mac clone!

But I know one Mac that has more time in the limelight than any other, the iMac G3, in all it's forms. It's even in Ralph Breaks The Internet
