As I noted back in June, NBC’s new series “Chuck,” which premiered last night, features Macs galore, including the above Mac Plus, the thinly disguised most powerful computer in the world.
“Chuck” is a cute little show, but the Macs are mostly more interesting than the action. You can see the show in full online here.
Pete Mortensen is a design strategist for consulting firm Jump Associates and the co-author of Wired to Care: How Companies Prosper When They Create Widespread Empathy, a book and blog that are significantly more interesting than you might initially think. Pete’s particular Apple avocations are both around design–interface and industrial. Follow him on Twitter!

That Mac’s not looking beige enough to be a Mac Plus; I’m guessing it’s a Mac Classic, as the front looks a little curved. The Mac SEs were white, too, but they had a very flat front and grooves below the screen, which don’t seem present in the photo above. (Yeah, pedantic, I know… :)
I have a mac plus. it mostly just takes up space, little did I know it could have starred in its own TV show.
And he also owned a Mac Pro at home!
