Apple's sense of Humor

They're my favorait brand for a reason: They've got a wicked scence of humor. I was reading their Boot Camp page:

EFI and BIOS
Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries.

Word to the Wise
Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes.
"the mac can operate smoothly in in Both Centuries" Who else but Apple, eh? They got so many inside jokes, those guys. :black:

Apple has always had a sense of humour, like the do not eat iPod Shuffle thing.

Anyone remember the big "Redmond, start your photocopiers" banners that Apple had when it first previewed the features in Tiger?

It's all advertising...a little bravado never hurts.
