Often, none of the above. Most systems don't have the snazzy graphics
they want for to tell the story. Also most computers are set to a font
that is too small to film legibly. And the font is boring.

Also there are product placement issues. I saw two different shows
which were using Apple Powerbooks. On one the Apple logo on the cover
was plainly visible; on the other they put a sticker over the logo to
hide it.

I saw Cyber180 being shot up in Die Hard 2. Sadly prophetic.
