As you've probably guessed, this section is a list of Macs that
have been in major motion pictures or TV shows. You've probably
seen this kind of thing before, but the ones I've seen out there
aren't very good. If you sight an Apple product (or something
related like an popular program or third-party product) somewhere
that you think earns it a spot on this list, please e-mail
me the place you saw it and if possible what kind of product
it was (model name, number, etc). Please check if it's not already
here though, thanks.
