Explorers was actually using a IIc, not a IIc+! The main difference is that the "plus" is much faster (4 mhz, I think?) and has a 3.5" floppy. I had a IIc growing up... only 1 mhz, 5.25" floppy.

Got it. So cool, though! Never thought of looking it up so I'm extra pleased to see its successor on HN. Going to have to rewatch it soon!

If you haven't seen it, check out http://www.starringthecomputer.com/

It has a very similar-looking Apple computer but the movie predates the model in the post.

I had never seen that movie before, thanks for the random comment. I watched it tonight and it was the perfect 80s tech/space movie.
