The Apple IIp that is shown in the video is the same still shot of a
closed case that you linked to on the other site. There is no shot of
it running any program, I think you're confusing the Apple IIp with
one of the Macs in the video. The shot of the Apple IIp is in the
video for only 5 seconds, from 1:40 to 1:45.
