Quote - I'm with Phil on this one. Trying to make PC's and their users look stupid is not any way to endear me to your products.  

I'm a PC Owner and I've used Mac's and yes, they are nice machines, but these commercials won't make me switch to a machine that costs nearly 3 times as much and is less versatile than a PC.

No arguments from me- you know what you want and need- and are happy with it! I realized the futility- and pointlessness of my OS is better than yours discussions! However... "I'm a PC Owner and I've used Mac's and yes, they are nice machines, but these commercials won't make me switch to a machine that costs nearly 3 times as much and is less versatile than a PC." Cough Cough! Have you looked at the Intel Macs? Just curious. It's easy to run XP at full speed with the latest Intel Core duo2 or Quad core Xeons- on a Mac. I've used PC's at work since DOS. Currently I use XP Pro at work and OSX 10.4.8 at home. I'm savvy on both- just prefer the ease of use and near total absence of Trojans, Worms, etc on OSX.... Also the price disparity has narrowed a great deal. True- there are no $300 emachine Macs- but there are $599 Intel Core Duo Macs And since it Unix at heart- you can open a terminal and away you go. I bought the last dual core G5 version Tower-JUST as the new Intel Macs came out- because I wanted to use old OS 9 programs-my next will be a 4 or 8? core Intel Mac. Best of both worlds. You can BOOT XP or run at around 90% speed as a window under OSX I'm listening to a CD, Rendering in Lightwave 9.2 and surfing and writing on the net right now. I've online accomplices who are using the 3 Ghz Xeon Quad Core Mac- Envious I am! Eric Hate PC's? Nah.
