"Hello, I’m a Mac." – "And I’m a PC."

July 22nd, 2008

I've never been a Mac believer. In my experience lots of Mac users believe in the superiority of the Mac in the same way as religious zealots believe in the truth of their own particular brand of religion - it's just beyond dispute. The "I'm a Mac" ads play to the Mac crowd. They reinforce the belief of the faithful that PCs are only really good for number crunching and spreadsheets. Those of us watching on a PC know this is not true. However, they're really funny, well made adverts and you've got to admire Apple's nerve.

And, I must admit, there's more than a grain of truth in a few of the ads (e.g. the one with the boxes and the one about the upgrade).

UPDATE (25/7/2008):
I just realised the one about the upgrade wasn't on that video. It's on the one below, right at the end.
