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.
