I actually thought it was a good series of ads and would work in the long-run.
But then I used an apple in 1985 (21 years ago) that actually worked better than today's Microsoft garbage.

No, I'm in the Wintel world, but that doesn't mean I have to like the Gates-bots. I have owned a Mac (long ago) but was never one of the Mac worshippers either. Either way, they're just tools to me, nothing to get all misty eyed over.

What got me is that Apple tried to make it seem as though PC aren't good for anything except for work. Well, I have played a ton of games on my trusty Dell that will never be available for a Mac. Plus, I have done all of my development and photo and video editing on a PC and never had a problem doing anything that they say a Mac can do better.

He was also fun on the show "Ed" as the aspiring filmmaker.
To: Vermonter
Agree. The PC guy was funny and you felt sorry for him. The Mac guy played straight man.

True but actually my reference to the Amiga 500 does get me a little misty eyed.I owned one back in the late 80's and for the time frame and the price point it was the best machine on the market !!!

Remember when he got busted for drugs? Everybody was saying "Dude, you going to jail!"It gave his character more credibility as far as I'm concerned.
To: Vermonter
One of my employees remarked how ironic it was that Apple finally found a spokesman who represented their product perfectly and had to fire him because they didnt want to insult their smug little twit customers.
To: CedarDave
Team her up with the PC guy for commercials. Damnit, I really should be working in the entertainment industry.

They should have re-written the one with Corinne Bohrer as the "counselor" by reprising her role in "Dead Solid Perfect"!

Sums up the typical Mac-fanaticI support users of both Mac and Windows (We have no Linux/Unix users outside the IT department).
Mac users are, indeed, quite arrogant about the alleged superiority of their Macs. Personally, I don't see it. But what do I know? I'm just an IT grunt.

Apple should just stop advertising for a month or two and let Microsoft destroy itself with ET phone home tattleware Vista.
Once a nation of computers starts running bloatware at half speed, Macs will look a lot better.
