Hey! I liked those Mac ads, and have collected them all. They are masterpieces. I actually thought that they were clever in making both characters likeable, and not being too hard on the poor PC guy.

The best ad was the one with the PC guy's angel and devil, and the one with PC in his disguise to attempt to avoid spyware. The most recent one with the counselor was a great parody of social work, and another under-the-radar promotion for Mac.

The Mac is just better. After all, what kind of a user interface has you turn off your computer by hitting the "Start" button?

But I am not arrogant about this! The way I figure it, the lower orders have a perfect right to by inferior products if they wish.

What kind of software isn't even compatible with over 90% of the computers on the planet?

I'm a Mac user and I liked the commercials too. I don't believe I'm arrogant about my Mac computers either. But I must say, that I've been a member of FR since '97 and have yet to see a thread from a Mac user asking for tech help over some error message or crashed system.

Wow, docbnj, you pretty much captured "smug little twit" perfectly there, hehe.

This pretty much sums up most Mac users:

"the lower orders have a perfect right to by inferior products if they wish."

We also know how to spell.

The irony is just too much to bear.

So Mac folks are so good they don't need spelling? Sounds just about right.

Buy buy - I mean, bye bye!

OK, that's it! I'm afraid you leave me no choice. This one's for you...
