A former computer lab co-worker of mine in grad school who is a Mac
fanatic pointed out to me once that the computers in most movies and TV
shows tend to be Macs.  With that in mind since then, I have indeed
noticed this phenomenon, which is likely due to aggressive "subliminal"
advertising by Apple.  One popular TV show with a Mac in it is "Seinfeld".
The computer is located near the window in the far left corner of
Seinfeld's living room.
