- A movie studio using Executor? Not bloody likely... From what I've
- heard of "Hackers", they basically just threw stuff in that looked or
- sounded cool, without regard to whether or not it was actually POSSIBLE!
- And with a laptop, whose screen would probably not be visible under the
- bright lights of the movie cameras, they probably just edited in a fake
- screen from a Mac, not caring that they had already claimed it to be a PC.
