X-files goof.Color laptops in 1989 dream on!

[Bible John <john.doggett@x-files.gov>]

Watching my new X-files DVD and in one episode which is a flashback to 
1989 which explained how the Lone Gunman met and got together, and also 
how they met Mulder.  During the episode a color laptop is used which is 
impossible because color laptops did not exist in 1989!  As a matter of 
fact, even color monitors were hard to come bye, and as best I can 
recollect the only color computers in 1989 was the Apple IIgs and 
Macintosh. I heavily used both PC's and Apple's in those days, and  
never used or heard of a color PC, but used plenty of colors apples.  

If me and my ibook G4 were to go back in time to that year, my ibook 
would be the most advanced and powerful computer on the planet, yet CC 
makes it look like 1989 PC's could do things that modern computers 
cannot in some of the scenes where Byers is searching through government 
databases.  First in 1989 government databases would not look as nice 
and richly formatted as CC portrays, and second a 1989 government 
database would be accessed via a VT-100 Unix command prompt or shell and 
there would be no such thing as a picture that goes along with a 
government personnel profile! Perhaps CC is not as computer savvy as 
people are led to believe.

Computer experts am I correct?
