Hi All, Slightly off topic, but I've noticed that in a lot of action/thriller-type films, there's some kind of important scene where a character has to do something on a computer. The convention was clearly developed in the 1980s because you always hear the nonstop sound of . . . TYPING. Not a single mouse-click. Pick any recent Hollywood scene of this type, and I guarantee you'll hear what I mean. It's as predictable as the loaf of french bread in the grocery bag (any time someone comes home with groceries in a Hollywood film or advertisement, there's a loaf of french bread). Best, --J
