As far as I'm concerned, Macs are overpriced, and over proprietary. And now
that they are Intel based, they are no different than every other PC out
there.
As far as mine is concerned, those commercials do nothing for me except turn
me off even more toward the Mac. I've never had to re-start my PC. I've
never had a virus harm my PC (though i've had infected files, McAfee has
always caught them as soon as I tried to access them).
What was the last commercial about? Something about a Mac being able to talk
to a digital camera and the PC couldn't? Funny, my PC talks just fine to my
digital camera.
I'm getting completely turned off to even hanging out in Apple communities.
I go because i'm fond of the Apple II. And when a community, chat room or
newsgroup, titles itself as an "Apple II" community, I expect to encounter
conversation about the Apple II; not how great the Mac is and how much the
PC sucks.
