Line 33:
*** "The program I used to hack the Pentagon with my iMac isn't compatible, what should I do?"
*** "Where has my list of Kryptovillains been saved?"
** If you have the zoom/magnification tool selected, it does work in some graphics programs; GIMP is one, at least under Linux.{{verify|reason=Does the zoom tool select an area without human interaction, as described above?}}
* An [[Egregious]] example occurs in an episode of ''[[NCIS]]'' featuring the [[Real Life]] freeware space simulator [https://web.archive.org/web/20131016222559/http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ Celestia]. The actual program has no sound effects at all.
** Actually, almost ''every'' episode of NCIS (especially those after Tim McGee joins the regular cast) involves multiple uses of this trope. For example, in one of the first two seasons of NCIS, Tony and Kate boot up a victim's computer, only to have it tell them that the C: drive has been reformatted. The line that bears this message is green, blinking, and beeping, all at once.
