If It's Good Enough for Shatner...
What do Bill Cosby, the cast of 'MASH,' and, yes, Captain James T. Kirk have in common? They all endorsed PCs in the 1980s.

Roger Moore and the Spectravideo SV-318 (1983)
Normally, James Bond would settle for nothing less than a diamond-encrusted, gold-plated, missile-launching personal computation device--high class and higher body count. But we all know that Roger Moore's rendition of Bond didn't quite match the character in Ian Fleming's novels. And the SV-318--an obscure, rubber-Chiclet-keyed footnote to computer history--will never be confused with something from Q's lab.
Instead, this computer's biggest claim to fame comes from supposedly being the accidental progenitor of the MSX computing standard that made a big splash in Japan.
