Another TRS-80 Model 4 sighting

This time it was in the movie Napolean Dynamite.  Appropriately enough, it
was when he's in the thrift store looking at crap just before finding the
D-Kwon dance tape.  It's in the lower right-hand part of the screen (when
he finds the sai), with half of it being off-screen in the TV edited
version (if you have a cinema TV I'm sure you can see the whole thing)
but you can still tell it's a TRS-80 M4 if you know what you're looking
at.

This movie is a must see for anyone that loves off-the-wall comedies and
either was or had a friend growing up that was a complete dork.  Ebert
gave it a thumbs down.  Either he took the movie personally or he just
didn't get it.  The movie is hilarious.
