In this topic, Chuck(G) mentioned he recently saw a movie where a lady killer robot was controlled by an Atari ST. This got me thinking this might be better suited for a separate topic as I'm really interested in other sightings of the oldies.

On top of my tongue I remember:
The IMSAI from War Games

Imsai.net has a great write-up on IMSAI used in the starter of genre of hacking movies - War Games. "Only winning move is not to play".
SGI machines from the original Jurassic Park

sgistuff.net has an interesting write-up on SGI computers seen in Jurassic park and their usage in the movie for first major realistic CGI effects. "I know this, it's a UNIX(TM) system."
Early gen Mac from Chuck (TV)

There were several retro machines on NBC's "Chuck", but the most prominent was an early Mac on the table in the Chuck's dad's (Scott Bakula) laboratory in the flashbacks.
What other vintage computing equipment did you notice in movies or TV?

What's notable is that she's apparently controlled by what's obviously an Atari ST. Don't know if this is mentioned in http://starringthecomputer.com, but it's hard to miss.
