Gav, this keeps being trotted out, but I've never met a single member of those professions who have made use of it.
All the media types I know of have either paid for their machine out of their hard earned, or the firm's bought it for them.
At least a couple of the media types I know haven't gone to Intel yet, in fact.

Clicky
If they are not using the discount, I'd be a bit concerned about their investigative skills!

Errr.. Gav.. that website doesn't actually mention a 'discount' anywhere, it just mentions 'benefits'. That could be free training or support (for example) or a leasing scheme or, well, any number of things. Bit of a leap to go from that to suggesting Apple are somehow influencing the media industry by stuffing it with cheap kit.

Don't suppose anyone is a member of the NUJ so they can find out are they?

Last time I watched 24, they were using Dells - all the Macs had gone. Maybe they got them back?

Last time I watched 24, they were using Dells with UNIX on them, never saw 24 with Macs, but I only watched the first 3 or 4, before getting bored.

They were prevalent in the second and third seasons of 24, but they had dell's as well, I seem to remember a plot point about some aspect of networking in unix as well. I too stopped watching as it became repetitive.
