Ok, I have to admit, I just love those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials. No, I'm not a Mac-fan. In fact, I sprang onto the computer-scene at the height of the PC-wars. Mac's were just coming onto the education scene in full force. They had been around throughout my high school years and I was taught on one of the dastardly MacIntosh's. You remember, the ones that the monitor and tower were one and the huge disk drive was on the front. Still, it never took. I just never got the Mac thing. They weren't terribly easy in my day, so I blame that for my less than enthusiastic view of Apple computers. I've always been an avid, loyal PC-gal. I remember how proudly I strutted onto campus with my bright white and blue IBM boxes, brand-spanking new, IBM PS/2, riding up the elevator 11 stories with a load of Mac-addicts. It was ok, I was proud. Still am.
Those "Mac" commercials do get my funny bone, not just because they are creative, but because they're so true. Dead-on, fact. This last one, with the computer error codes really makes me laugh. Again, because they are so true. How many times have I struggled to understand what the bleep a 'fatal exception' or 'syntax error' was. I credit my search for knowledge in helping me wade through sea of PC-confusion. And I, naturally, consider myself wiser because I am a PC user. Because I can figure out how to fix my PC. But I'm starting to wonder, how much more could I accomplish if I didn't have to 'deal' with all the viruses, spam, security holes and overall programming deficiencies of the Microsoft monarchy.
Things that make you go hmmmm.
