Re: "You've Got Mail" the movie

[John Courtney <jcourtne@ESU6.ESU6.K12.NE.US>]

All film companies and movies in particular have a whole dept. to take
care of properties and props.  These people are in constant negotiations
with companies re: products used in films...everything from the pet food
to the computer, so unless the writer or the producer include a
particular product to enhance the story the product is aquired not for
the film per se but as a result of some monetary consideration.
