tl;dr: "Starring the Computer" is a reference database catalogging appearances of real-world computers in movies and TV shows, indexed by manufacturer and model. Entries range from vintage machines like the Burroughs B205 (featured in dozens of 1960s sci-fi productions) and Apple II to modern hardware like MacBook Pros and Alienware laptops, each linked to specific films and episodes where they appear. It's essentially IMDb for computer hardware spotting.
