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.

What about the time in Alias when the geeky guy Marshall is kidnapped and they have him in front of a computer (maybe Linux or BSD), the first thing I noticed was that he was using KDE maybe 2.x.
Well alright there wasn't any inaccuracies there but it was still good that they had a *nix desktop in a TV show.
