Hi Chuck and Kreg,
I am catching up on podcasts again.  On podcast 283, you talked about seeing
computer equipment in movies.  From a geek perspective, I love finding those
hidden gems in the background.
There is one show on TV right now that is driving me crazy with the hidden technology.  I dont know if you are watching Caprica on the SyFy chanel, but I have noticed a few things about thier technology.  When ever they have a keyboard showing, its a 103 Key Windows Compatable US Keyboard complete with two Windows Flag keys and the Menu key.  Every time I see that, it pulls me out of show and totally distroys the illusion of a different world.
Have you ever had that happen?
Thanks for a great show.
Dean (Beaker)
