Thanks to you eagle eyed readers that have been impatiently pointing out several new Get a Mac ads on Apple’s website. The two new commercials, Flashback and Computer Cart, have appealed to me more than any other (except maybe Security).
The first takes us back to when Mac and PC were mere kids. My question is, which versions of the operating systems? I’d like to think System 7 for Mac (because that’s what I grew up on) and Windows 3.11 for PC (just because it’s so much funnier to think about).
Computer Cart transports us into the world of obscure Windows errors and the way IT departments cart off the poor pieces of hardware. The premise isn’t that great, but “He’s a goner.” totally makes up for it.
Bonus: Catch John Hodgman on This American Life as the first segment. Very funny as always.
