Apple Ads

Apple has an ad campaign featuring people who supposedly switched from PCs to Apple computers... in the ads, these people talk about some horrible experience they had with a PC, and then how their new Apple computer is perfect. Some of the ads are mildly interesting/entertaining.

But what’s really funny is this video made in response to the Apple ads.

<rant>Ok, I don’t have anything to say about your video, I use dialup so I’m not interested in videos. But I want to say something about the ads... they’re stupid!  I’m a die-hard Mac fan, and even I will admit that the modern Mac OS and Windows can both be quite incomprehensible.  Sometimes you just have to admit that computer-illiterate folks *will* run into trouble with their computers eventually.  The switch-over people in the ads give stupid reasons for hating Windows, reasons  that won’t necessarily make Mac OS easier for them.</rant>

Hey, it’s not my video, I just linked to it     : )       But it is really funny after you’ve seen the Apple ads.

But I agree, people who have trouble with computers, have trouble with computers. And people just starting out will have a lot to learn whether they’re using PCs or Macs.
