These are the most foolish commercials I have ever seen.

They should just put a mentally-challenged person in a hockey helmet on saying "I couldn't figure out how to use a real computer, so I got a Mac." while he is beating his head into the wall.

Mac is simply a niche product, mostly reserved for professionals. Why? I don't know, maybe they think more money = better product.

My only real problems with Mac consist of:
1) Cost
2) Poor upgradeability
3) Only Apple makes Mac's

If anyone in here knows wut Sony did for the Palm industry with thier Clié series they know wut I mean by number 3. I believe the same could help Mac if they let another company build and sell a system then Apple could have some compition and then in turn make better systems.

But I don't wanna turn this into yet another Mac vs. PC thread. So.....

The saddest thing about those commercials is that they work for cpu noobs. They would have been more influential years ago.

Uhm... that number is that way because we have 1,000 times as many users. Just think of all those mentally retarted and ole' folks homes that use Windows and that lowers our number right now. But of course I wasn't polled. And I'm pretty sure none of the rest of the people here remember being polled. What did they do? Go to Podunk, Wisconcin and set two different computers side by side and watch which one the hick stumbled to?
