While the display is obviously grayscale, it displays a blue Apple logo
in "bootup.mov". Some close-up shots show evidence of barrel distortion,
but the display's content isn't similarly distorted. The recognized
handwriting in "sayhello.mov" appears to dance above the display. The jog
dial looks much like a miniaturized version of the PowerBook/iBook PSU.
And then there's the German voice saying "Das war Spitze!" (a remark the
late game show host Hans Rosenthal was famous for, but I have my doubts
anyone in Cupertino ever heard of him).
