I think the ads are really cute, to be honest.
I like them.

Fortunately, they're still doing them, I find them quite enjoyable.
I remember reading a good analysis about how those commercials are actually jabs at apple, but I can't find it.

I find them annoying. Now I know how PC users felt when the Mac commercials came on :-)

I'm not a PC, got a HP laptop, fully loaded, and after almost 12 hours in 2 days of tech support to India, I sent that POS back and ordered a mac. I also just spent 4 hours trying to get corrupted files out of my PC before I give it to my daughter. I cant wait to be a MAC!


Nikon D300 and other non canon stuff, I just like this place. MOOOHAHAHAHA :p

Well....

I have a Mac. I thought the ad was pretty good actually. Must have been edited with final cut pro. :lol:

Oh please, please, please don't let this degrade into pointless arguments on Mac vs PC. If you like what you have then just use it.


BTW Macs are better than PCs :p

Only comment below if you've used BOTH. Heh heh. Maybe I'm turning into a troll here. :lol: This is fun.

I swore I would always be a PC and never break down to get a sissy, freak, peace lovin, girly geek machine like a Mac. But after dealing with personal issues (Vista), in frustration I ordered an iMac......well I will never be a PC again.
