Silent Witness on BBC 1 here in the UK. they have G4 iMacs. My Family, G3 iMac, another BBC show. fair few..

They also use a Powerbook in 'Escape to the Country' to show the the buyers the movies of the houses.

This article reminds me of an aquaintance - in his fourties.

He was telling me how he practices English every day on the train by listening to some tracks from an English textbook. He said he listens on his iMac.

I was picturing this guy sitting on the train with a huge iMac just to listen to some music. He actually says "iMac" several times.

He then says he has it with him and pulls out what he is calling an iMac. It's a nano of course.

Wonder how he got confused. Never mind not knowing who made his iPod, but mixing it up with another product made by the same company

Funny, it has apple markings on it, it shows an apple when you turn it on.

Of course it's not made by apple.

Alright guys, I had to add this. Sorry to bring back an old thread. I came to this from my "Previous Posts" list and decided to IM a few random people and ask them who made the iPod... Majority said "The iPod Company". I'm not even joking. It is pretty sad. Here is what one person said. (I am not showing the person's name)

Just asked about 10 people(all teenagers) from my Buddy List and they all knew iPods are made by apple AND that Apple makes computers. Only one person said iPods are made by the Apple Store. I live in SO. Cal and most people say macs suck but I think maybe 80 percent know iPods are made by Apple.
