I'm pretty sure that paying for product placement is a definite part 
of it.  I know that happens in the Movies, and I'm pretty sure that 
happens on TV as well.

Yet at the same time I think some times is simply the producers 
wanting stylish looking computers.  I suspect this is the case with 
Crossing Jordan and their initial heavy use of the SGI 1600SW LCD 
panels.  I really can't believe that SGI paid for product placement 
with the displays, for one thing I think they might have stopped 
making them, and it was often not obvious that they were SGI displays 
(if you know what they look like you can't miss one when you see it).
