That lemmings commercial really was awful and offputting. The PC vs. Mac ads, on the other hand, at least make the PC incredibly lovable. As far as personalities go, I'd much rather hang out with John Hodgman than that younger hipper guy.

If Wally was a Macolyte I would just have to deal with it. Much the same way I deal with Metallica being His favorite band.

I would agree that now C vs. E is a reasonable metaphor because of the market saturation for PCs and game(r)s. I really just meant to call to light the fact that this situation was a result of decisions Apple made in the past, not random chance.

I went in to an Apple store for the first time last night.
I looked at a few of their boxes, and they're sleek and all, but not MY style.
A salesperson asked me if something was wrong- I simply said "They all look the same, where's the fun in that?" - He reacted like I'd spit on a crucifix at the Vatican. Sorry, but I don't like going into a computer store where I'm made to feel like a heretic because I'm not of the "gabba gabba one of us" mindset.

I had a friend who sold OS/2 back in the day. Talk about a cult.....
