1) Macs tend to have distinctive designs, so set designers and dressers like to use them. 2) Art directors, set designers and the like tend to be Mac users themselves, so using them on set comes naturally. 3) Mac users like ourselves tend to notice Macs :-) Other folks just notice 'computer', if they notice it at all. There's some cheesy ad on in our TV market for some antivirus/ antispyware cleanup service claiming to make your PC faster. There are about 6 or 7 different stock photo and stock video shots of people using computers. 3/4ths of them are Macs. In fact the big disclaimer saying "This product is for Windows PC's Only" is displayed over a still shot of the last gen Mac keyboard.
