Oh, that. Have you ever seen anyone use a computer correctly in any
commerical, movie or TV show? It's like watching a movie about a
musician and watching the actor(ess) hack awat at their instrument.
It's very rare that hollywood can find an actor that actually knows how
to do what his character does, even something as simple as typing.

On the other hand actors are very good at portraying waiters and
waitresses ;)
