Cool Apple launches "Get A Mac" ad campaign - 05-02-2006, 04:11 PM


The new ads show two actors - a nerdy one representing a PC, and a predictably "kewl" guy, representing a Mac.

One of the ads show Macs being largely immune to virii. Some sites speculate this will serve as a challenge to virus writers to focus on the Mac.

Watch the ads here. The "Get A Mac" site, extolling the benefits of the Mac vs PCs can be found here.

P.S.
Is it just me, or does the PC guy vaguely look like Bill Gates? Even the Mac guy has a passing resemblance to Steve Jobs! Its only a matter of time before somebody remixes these ads with the two arch-nemesis' heads

I can see a slight resemblance! haha thanks for pointing that out! One problem, Bill Gates sounds/acts like those 'uber geeks' from movies a long time ago...
