keep looking in Terminator, there's another appearance.  I recall seeing
an assembler source code dump, and spotted "VTOC DATA" in the dump.
(wish I had a VCR to freeze it and see more)  Kinda looked like merlin pro
in 40 col mode...

And of course, all tactical display screens in Star Trek Next Generation
are actually Mac monitors...
