[Ti] PowerBook sighting! CSI

[Chris Long]

I also seem to remember seeing a feature once (I don't remember where 
or when) that for many tv and movie productions, the things you 
actually see done on the screen are Flash animations or something 
similar, that do what needs to be done with little to no input from the 
actors.  This allows them to create what they want you to see without 
fighting OS and actual software troubles.  I wish I could get paid to 
do this!
