ap gold

also roboto's factory is full of apple displays, and i guess towers, maybe cubes running them. but that kind of product placement is so stupid and unrealistic. you'd only need one mac to run that place anyway.

By the way, anyone else seen that movie? (Antitrust)
I saw it at a friends house. It looked like a Mac keyboard and I kept thinking that they used Darwin to do the Unix shots, but all that's credited is the Open Source Foundation (or something).

Also, not in film or TV, but the IKEA 2001 catalog has some iMac everywhere. The 2003 has a tiBook and a Graphite iMac.

This isn't really a TV show or movie, but in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3's videos, everyone who is seen with a computer is using a Mac.

I saw a bronze-keyboard Powerbook G3, a G3 iMac and a Powerbook G4 that a dude was doing music on.

... apparently nobody realized the fact that Independence Day featured .... *drumroll please*... a PowerBook 5300.... However, in the film, it is simply labeled PowerBook XXXX.... Apple's marketing department had probably not decided what to number it, yet, so they made that label for the movie. As I recall, the PowerBook 5300 was released very near to the movie's release date. Interesting, eh?
