Macs in cinema (Score:2)

I'm convinced that the reason there are so many Macs in movies is that is the only computer that movie folks use. I suppose I could be mean and say that is the only computer they know how to use, but considering that current state of Macs that's unfair to the Macs. :-)

  I just figured they were more picturesque, really. I've never been into popular aesthetics, and popular aesthetics has never been into me, so I could be very wrong.

  Back in the days when Guy Kawasaki was running the evangelist list, I think there was some sort of tacit marketing budget to get Macs on screen. Coulda been free hardware or something. But I think Apple had an active role in getting the Mac on film/video.
  Perhaps they still do.
