Heh...yeah, the mac boot up sound is what made me fall in love with this film. :)

I do know that, but it's nothing to do with me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

It's funny though: I knew that Eve was supposed to be modelled on an iMac, but I couldn't see any huge resemblance myself, other than the shiny white plastic.

You realize this stuff gets syndicated to Planet Ruby on Rails?

No one cares.

I also found the film rather enjoyable.

The original iMac ‘mice’ infesting the garbage heaps in space were an entertaining touch. Of course, it is a bit ironic that the main object of desire in the film - the robot Eve that Wall-E pines after - is fundamentally modeled upon a much hyped consumer product.
