Long Live the Mac!
Today, Apple released four ads that hit Microsoft hard.
I love it. Why? I have been using the Mac since 1984. Those early days were glorious as we Mac users found a “PC” that was usable and practical, especially if we were right brained creatives. Meanwhile, Microsoft was selling gazillions of left-brained DOS (non-Windows) machines into the corporate market. Whether you were left or right brained, that’s what they made you use. Then, in about 1987, Windows 1.0 was finally shipped (late as usual). Over the years, the corporate users drove us into the hills. We spent the years of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s living in caves, not seeing the sky.
Now times have changed. The Mac is cool again, and actually recognized as a great platform. We are out of the caves and back in the green grass, with sunny skies. We can now proclaim openly, without derision, Long Live the Mac!
I have posted one of the new ads I especially like, called Time Traveler.
You can find the other ads here at the Apple site.

LOL OMG I love those commercials hehhe
These commercials are great! I feel so smug and vindicated for my mac usage whenever I see one.
Your comment about being driven into the hills reminds me of that old “Dillbert” comic. In one of them, Dogbert decided to purge all the Mac users from the company. Even though they were in hiding, he was able to spot them because of their smug, self-satisfied expressions.
