Update Thursday, June 25, 2015, 4:11p.m.: Hulu has updated the apartment with a Mac Performa 200 in place of the PC. We'd like to think we played a role in that decision.
Big ups to @Hulu for fixing the egregious error at the #senifeldapartment and putting a Mac there as, it should be. pic.twitter.com/tpeaoiJtic— Christina Warren (@film_girl) June 25, 2015

Hulu on Wednesday will begin streaming all 180-episodes of Seinfeld -- arguably the greatest sitcom of all time.
To celebrate, the streaming site has recreated Jerry's apartment and is opening it to the public from June 24-28 in New York City.
Mashable had a chance to visit the apartment this morning as part of a media tour and the attention to detail is quite stunning. Hulu recreated nearly every aspect of the Season 8-era Seinfeld apartment with great attention to detail.
Except for one thing. They gave Jerry an old PC.
In the words of Cosmo Kramer, "Oh, come on!"
After Carrie Bradshaw, Jerry Seinfeld might be the most visible Mac user in 1990s television. Over the course of Seinfeld's 9 seasons, Jerry's apartment frequently showed off various models of the Macintosh. Everything from the Mac SE/30 to a PowerBook Duo with Duo Dock, to the 20th anniversary Macintosh were featured on the show.
I even tracked down a Season 8 episode and sure enough -- Jerry has a Performa/PowerPC on his desk.
Sure, this is just a recreation for a pop-up shop -- and the set-dressers did a great job with most of the details, yada, yada, yada. But as a longtime Apple fan and Seinfeld aficionado, I couldn't help but feel that something was off with the universe. It was as if I was in Bizzaro World.
The Seinfeld apartment is open June 24-28 from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. at 451 14th Street in New York City.
