Factual error: In the scene in which Patience is browsing the web, looking for information on Catwomen, we see her using an Apple G4 Powerbook. However, when she is viewing the pages, the font that is displayed is not one found on any search engine using either Safari or Internet Explorer. That font seems to come from an older generation of machine.

I Don't know how i was caught watching this... But in "Queer eye for the straight guy" not only does the fab 5 all own Powerbooks, but a lot of the straight guys usually have a messy desk that needs cleaning up... with what else sitting on top of it... but a Mac. :)

There's a lot of macs in the third season of 24, but not as good as the magic 17" powerbook in Jack Bauer's office. In one episode, Jack is typing away at something and you can clearly seen the screen is not moving, in another scene Ryan Chappelle is using the same Powerbook, same screenshot on the screen, and he touches the screen to end a phonecall. I was a bit disappointed they skimped a bit doing this, but after seeing all those macs all over ctu, it made up for it.

Wow this is an 'old' thread.

The movie Unbreakable: The evil Elijah Price played by Samuel L. Jackson had like like 3 G4s(the nice plastic case vs the ugly metal ones now)

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it is true that Willow had an iBook, but I think she had another laptop or at least access to one early in the show. Buffy "The Councellor" had an iMac I believe. It was the last season, and I have not seen the particular episodes where you can clearly see her flat panel screen.

There have also been a couple of episodes where the mac symbol has been obscured, though you know it is a mac.
