[Ti] PowerBook sighting!

[Bill Reburn]

I don't think we're boasting per se,

In light of seeing 400 Dell ads a day or the many Intel ads kicking around
the argument (somewhere) is whether Apple is paying for well placed
sightings (with cash, products, mentions) - or whether these are simply the
work of Apple "fans" - getting these systems in place on set when the shot
calls for "Actor A" to be using 'The Computer".

Is this brilliant advertsing by Apple?? Or nothing at all?

As far as being standard - I see a point there - most creative's use them
and therefore like using them in their scenes.. But in relation to Market
Share - I would expect to see a Mac on TV like maybe once every ten years.
Unless it's some show about an ad agency or something.. Of course they
'should' all be Mac's  ;-)

On we go..
