Win95 box on Jerry's desk

Did anyone else notice what appeared to be a Windows 95 box on Jerry's desk in last night's episode? The same desk that has a Mac Duo on it...

John

Funny you said that I noticed the same thing on last nights episode.

Those Microsoft people really went pretty insane with that whole Windows '95 thing. Apparently, they spent millions and millions and then maybe a couple million more on advertising, so it doesn't surprise me that they paid someone on the set to place the box near the camera.

I'm sure either nobody cared or noticed the implicit contradiction of putting the Win '95 box next to a Mac Duo.

Yeah, that really was strange of them to want to advertise their product...

Well, did you ever consider the obvious fact you are much mistaken about Jerry's computer being a Mac Duo? Of course not, you are an Apple head.

Any true Apple head certainly knows what an Apple looks like -- and that *is* a Mac Duo!

(BTW, the rock-climbing rerun last night showed Jerry using his Mac a lot -- answering a question in another thread about whether he uses it.)

Love, An Apple Head

I think that it was a Performa also, the monitor looked especially like a 15" apple display.

Maybe he's using Softwindows to run Win 95 on his Mac.

It is a powerMac..probably a 6100..Continuity for that is bad..Why would he use softwindows to run Win 95 on his Mac?? He already has a better version of Win 95: The MacOS. :)

BTW, to the thread about George being an annoying weasel.. Thats what makes him soooo damn funny..He is consistently the funniest thing about the show each week.

Actually, I don't think Seinfeld is using a Mac. He used to a long time ago, but it looks to me like he's got a docking station for some sort of notebook. Whether the notebook is a Mac or not, I don't know. However, one could assume that it is a PC notebook since he's got the Windows 95 box on his desk. (gee, I wonder how much Microsoft paid the show to put that box on his desk)

The computer is an Apple DuoDock.

Why pay. NBC and Microsoft are now practically the same.

The machine on Jerry's desk is a Powerbook Duo w/ Duo Dock, in other words, a Mac, and I doubt that Apple paid to place it there originally. I don't doubt that Microsoft did pay, however. Bill Gates is always looking for ways to steal Apple's thunder.

(gee, I

We've had this discussion before. Jerry's computer is a Macintosh Duo. Evidently Michael Spindler got to him before Bill Gates did.

     I think the writers got a great laugh out of placing the Win95 box on
the desk, knowing the "geeks" would start chattering...
     Looks like they were correct...
