The Wall Street Journal is currently auto-running one of those incredibly irritating Mac vs. PC ads on it's front page. I have to turn the sound down every time I go there to get away from the thing. In honor of that event, here's another of Laurie McGuinness' great Mac vs. PC ad spoofs.

Dream on! ;)
Mac rules! Rather fight than switch!

the spoofs are funny, but the originals are the funniest.
Do I sense buyer's remorse here? I'll bet you two have spent more money on computers in the last five years than I have. And mine can show the contents of those Internet tubes just the same as yours!
Neener neener neener.

Nah. Mine's an early G-4 bought for my son in his Freshman year of high school - 9 years ago. It's an incredible workhorse, was upgradable in the sense that I could add harddrives and burners (my imac wasn't, but it was a great machine, too.) This one's outdated now, no bluetooth for example, and I'm due for a new one, pretty soon.
OSX is remarkably stable, but even in the old OS9 days anything that went wrong I could fix.
Can't wait for a new one! No way I'd go PC. :)
9 years? 8? 7? I forget. Whenever the G-4's came out... I had figured it would last him a few years
KT,
Nope, no buyers remorse. In the last three months we purchased two machines. We just got a lonovo pc laptop for my wife to use at school and replaced a dying emac with a mac mini. The two machines have the exact same processor and memory. The mac cost 2/3 that the the pc. Now its not a far comparison since laptops always cost more. If instead we'd gotten the equivalent powerbook, the cost switches to 4/3. But while the initial investment is more, my experience is that the machines tend to have a longer lifecycle.
I still use a mac book I've had for eight years, and its running the latest mac OS. My work machine is a 4 year old powerbook and its still going strong. We have a mac G5 tower that doubles as a server, and its pushing 6 years. With windows software bloat, you're lucky to keep a windows machine working much beyond three years.
Neener neener back. ;)
