[X4U] Macs in movies and TV...

[Richard Gilmore]

It's likely that most of the creative TV/Movie types use Macs to begin with
so I'm sure the machines are handy also they look so damn good. I've seen
Macs on CSI and many other shows notably Angel, which in the last season
used Ti Powerbooks but covered over the Apple with silver tape. Probably
Apple refused to pay for product placement they were getting for free until
that time?
