Apple in movies

I have a question which I have been pondering for a while and I think you might be a man that can answer it. I have seen a lot of movies in my time and when a computer is involved in a movie say an actor is actually using it or it’s just in the background it alwyas seems to be a Macintosh computer never a PC. You don’t see Windows 95/98 running on these computers in the movies for example in American Pie that kid is using a Mac for transmitting video using a netcam. What gives? Is it Apple’s marketing? or is it that Macintosh screens have better refresh rates? I’d appreciate an answer

There are lots of reasons like Apple actually lobbying to have it’s computers in movies. But the most likely reason to me is that the sorts of people that make movies use Macintoshes. Most of the real interesting people like that whom I meet seem to use Macs.
