Putty seen on Prison Break
March 12, 2007
My favorite SSH application for Windows was spotted on the hit Fox show Prison Break. Michael Scofield, Sara Tancredy and Lincoln Burrows were huddled around a PC laptop listening to an audio recording and when the program was closed I noticed the putty icon sitting on the desktop.
I don’t use Putty as often now that my main machine is a Mac, but when in Windows I always use it.

My favourite use of fake computers has to be 24. In addition to the false OS that somehow creates a visual for everything, I love how satellites and cameras have infinite resolution.
