In Star Trek IV:  The Voyage Home, when Scotty is in the Plexiglass
factory, the computer used ( a Mac) has an external video input, and 
it would appear that the displayed screens are from an Apple II
computer, not to mention the speed the computer responded...

And in Star Trek III, let's not even talk about the Klingon
communicators' hailing sound (an Atari 400/800/etc. keyclick if I ever
heard one...)

And how about the "Apple II booting" sound heard when the Klingons
received the stolen genesis data?  Star Trek *abounds* with these
things... :-)
