With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

The best scene ever in a computer movie: In Hackers when all the "Hackers" SPRAY PAINT their keyboards!! LOL!
Also, Angelina Jolie in that movie says her Apple Laptop has a P6 processor...she must be really good to have hacked that box together.
I also liked when the Plague tells Crash Override to "Turn on your computer and set it to receive a file." Crash turns on his computer, it boots up instantly, he flips a switch and receives the file. Couldn't they have hired at least ONE person who knows anything about computers to clean up the dialog a little bit?
Hacking into stoplights from a laptop in the back seat of a moving taxi was a classic too.
Honestely, Hackers is one of the worst, most painful movies ever made, but damn funny to laugh at.
