You should pay close attention to the props they have around the
apartment. There is generally a Dekavider on the desk. Hey wait, I
have one of those too......

if you never saw one. About $5 to $10 at a ham swap meet. Mine is way
better than the one in the link.

The only thing that strike me odd is all the phone books. Geeks don't
use phone books. I have actually called and asked them (SBC and the
"other" book) not to kill a tree in my name, but they insist on
dropping them off.

These TV people don't miss a trick. Check out
