Have you guys noticed a general trend in movies that good guys use Macs or Linux, and Bad guys use windose? Especially when the good guys are rebels and the bad guys an oppressive big-brother regime.
  • Swordfish
  • Antitrust
  • Sex & The city series
  • Mission : Impossible
to name but a few

Bernie :o)

Hello!

I saw a G3 iMac and a Black PowerBook in "Left Behind: The Movie" but can not post a pic cause it is not digital...

Anybody know why Apple stopped putting the AV In/Out ports on their computers? My 8500 has one that is really helpful but no such luck with my new Quicksilver or I would post a pic.

Also, pretty funny that a company that only offers products to the PC platform had pictures of Macs in their catalouges They showed pics of their operators using a mac. Of course they were well disguised, seeing only the back of a cinema display or a pro keyboard and mouse, only a mac hunter would notice it

Have a great day!

Albert

What BigHairyDog said, about good-guys using macs and bad-guys using Windoze, is especially true for the Buffy and Angel series', to the point that when willow turned bad she ditched her iBook for a PC! Lucky for us she came back to the good side.

Last night, while watching my favourite anime show, Martian Successor Nadesico, I spotted an original Macintosh in one of the scenes (even though this is meant to be the year 2197, there is an original mac in the background of a technie-geek's office, and a model kit of the starship enterprise as well)

I don't have any clips handy, but if any of you are mac sightings people check out the following movies:

What women want (mel gibson uses pismo)
Legally blonde (reese witherspoon character uses an iBook)


I mean comon...even Nick Burns, "The company's computer guy" uses them

Compaq is the biggest one of them all... in almost 75% of the magazines that I have that have Compaq ads in them, they show a screenshot of OS 9 on the screen running IE... instead of Windows XP, which has a logo right next to the monitor that says "Designed for Windows XP"


if only my scanner worked...
