Unfortunalty my VCR is down, and I did not tape the program.

But yes, there are several shots of people using Imlac's, probalby
playing Mazewar in
some shots, in others where you get to see the Imlac screen its full of
slightly flickering text.

None of the shots showed the optional programmers console, but perhaps
this was not such
a common accessory?

My Imalc is still set-up in my living room, not far from the TV, so it
was really easy to spot the
machine sitting next to the TV on the TV itself! No question, they were
Imlacs.
