Blimey!

I've seen them for the 12" and 17" PowerBooks, new G5, when the G4 crossed over the 1GHz barrier (that was with the war thing, and the "Pentium PCs: well, they're harmless"), lots of different iPods, new iMac and iMovie. All on TV.

I think this is why Apple has poor sales, cause they never advertise their products!!! Very few people even consiter a Mac over here. There are very few Mac's in schools here too. My high school, for example, I've only seen an LII and an LC 575. All the rest are PC's running Windows 2000.

Dual 2.2GHz powered by AMD Opteron - *Sends G5 & 8Gb Ram to scrap heap* Yeah! finally switched BACK!
Psychology works a lot better. Apple don't need to advertise it's products like the other's do. They may only advetise a new product to get people interested. If your a compulsive TV addict(s), you'll see the Apple logo and various Macintoshes making cameo appearances in all sorts of things from non apple commericials to TV series such as CSI and 24, on to movies in the big screen.

You'll find about 60-70% of musicians and actors will do their stuff on a Mac, also found in many professional recording studios around the world... So why waste money on advertising when endorsements from the movie industry is just as effective?
