A movie studio using Executor? Not bloody likely... From what I've
heard of "Hackers", they basically just threw stuff in that looked or
sounded cool, without regard to whether or not it was actually POSSIBLE!
And with a laptop, whose screen would probably not be visible under the
bright lights of the movie cameras, they probably just edited in a fake
screen from a Mac, not caring that they had already claimed it to be a PC.
