Mac vs PC (get a Mac)

No, I'm not highlighting the superiorness of Mac and rubbing salt into the wound of PC owners. No, I wouldn't do that  tongue

No, this topic is about the advertisements! Remember the old "I'm a Mac!" "And I'm a PC!" advertisements? I don't, I don't think they aired it in Australia  lol

I just watch them on Youtube. This is however one of the best spoofs I've seen yet.  smile

Re: Mac vs PC (get a Mac)

I got the 'Blue Screen of Death' a few days ago.

This made me laugh. But the 9/11 thing is just rude. Also, taking advantage of how dumb we Americans are is not the way to gain customers. Yes, I admit it; most of us are dumb and easily corrupted by an ad that says, "This computer also features the 'Time Machine' (buy it now or die)"

I don't care if you get a Mac or a PC...

as long as it has an Intel chip inside!

(I work for Intel)

Re: Mac vs PC (get a Mac)

Um, was that SUPPOSED to sell a Mac?  For me, that just sells a Windows.  Also, 'whatever, i don't know math' the better response would have been 'But I come with a calculator!'

Re: Mac vs PC (get a Mac)

Not really... because Macs have Time Machines!  big_smile

The Mac vs PC vs Everyone video features Linux, Unix and Google as well. It does have some inappropriate language though.

Uhm, the Time Machine joke was the part most in favor of PC.

Re: Mac vs PC (get a Mac)

I guess if you owned a PC, then you could look at it that way, but for Mac owners, it's just another hit on the nail on the coffin of the PC  tongue

Seriously? Who wants a "useful application that creates a backup of your neccesary files and folders?"

I'd rather have a time machine  smile

I really like the guy who was the PC in the original. John Hodgman is his name, and he's a really cool guy.

PCs aren't going anywhere for a while. Macs are just overpriced PC clones that are worse.
