Hi,

I can't resist...

The commercial implications of consumer items featured in movies is enormous. Ericson phones and Omega watches in James Bond movies (instead of NOKIA phones and Blancpain watches), Stars that drink Coke instead of Pepsi - this is advertisement.

Chances are, if a MAC computer is featured in a film, it is because Apple PAID the producers to put it in their movie. I really can't believe film producers would be making any statement about technical merit of differing computer platforms - rather, just which manufacturer would pay the most for advertising time in the movie.
