When the Mac asks what he wants to do, the PC should say play the latest games....LOL, dont know how the Mac could answer that!

535067 2007-03-22 02:51:00 Lets see the PC upgrade ad versus the Mac upgrade ad then.

They annoy me, the "trendy" guy versus the one who looks like an old IBM ad.
Should be some guy with his trousers up around his chest doing graphics on a Mac versus gamer guy and the PC.

535068 2007-03-22 02:52:00 On a side note, isn't the "Mac" guy in those ads the same kid who played the nerdy fanboy in Galaxy Quest? Now that kid was not a Mac user, no way. He was a Linux kid, without a doubt. Biggles (121)

The advertiser isn't using their own products. Bit like Holden using a fleet of Nissans.

That would be relevant if Apple was actually competing in the games area. I am just curious as to why it took Apple NZ so long to put the ads out there.

You need an upgrade just to run Vista, you dont need a hardware upgrade to move from 10.4 to 10.5

You have obviously never worked in a design or production studio where there is usually an even split between women aged between 20-55 and guys of a similar age and where the fashion can include casual, dress casual, street hip or smart professional while the music tastes can cover 70s classics, hard house, easy listening, house, electronica, deep hard and funky etc.
