Every so often I like to post one of the old "I'm a Mac / I'm a PC" ads. They are just sooo funny!!!

Here's one that's still pretty awesome...and still pretty relevant! Enjoy:)

No matter what the timeframe...there will always be "lovers" and "haters" of anything that's ever communicated (everyone has an opinion). Lol

Always amazing how just a single loud "hater"...can wipe out the positivity of a million who like something.

That's a great ad Chas, but I do not ever recall seeing it before.

That wouldn't be too unusual, as often we In Canada often did not always get to view All of Apple's released ads.

I remember that ad well. It was not soon after that my son sent me one of those old click wheel iPods as a birthday present. My wife used it for quite some time until she dropped it and killed the small hard drive. I replaced the hard drive with a SD card following the instructions at ifixit.

No longer have it after buying the new version. We probably have gone thru 20 or more iPods. Mostly the Shuffle model which we used as gifts. The US military exchange store had them on sale: 3 for $99, no tax. :)
