Pretty funny.

Can one infer that the ads are working since they come back for a second act?

I must say i love the comercials. After using a PC for 12 years i was finally fed up with windows crashing and losing work, emails etc.

I had previously looked at switching to a mac, but couldn't ever justify the price difference until the final crash. I went out and bought a quad G5 system (a little irritated since this was 3 mos ago and the mac pro is now out) only knowing that it was based on Darwin.

So to answer the question to whether or not the ad's work? They did for me and i am sure many others as well. I have been using OS X Tiger for the last 3 months and have a record downtime of 3 months on my PC WOO HOO!!!

Welcome aboard!

Since Justin Long shaved the pubic hair off his face, he looks less like a bad Dylan McDermott impersonator and more like bad Tom Cruise impersonator. Also, the sound that the MagSafe connector makes when disconnected is disturbing. If I go into an Apple Store and some employee makes that sound while demonstrating the connector, I will cast a quick glance to my leg to make sure nothing is humping it.

I wish that Apple would not portray Mac as the slacker looking guy. If they want to attract business types then make the Mac look more "professional", plenty of pros use Macs. Of course a lot of us artistic types look scruffy, but not all of us. I for one am into a blend, jeans and an expensive dress shirt with tie, hiking/walking shoes (not boots) on my feet, when I am not practicing naturism, businessman haircut and a Czar Alexander II beard.

On the other hand not all PCs look like businessmen, many of the PC users I know are genuine slackers and dress the part; They also have scruffy PC computers picked up second hand or donated by their more successful kith.

This isn't saying that I am not enjoying this ad campaign. Maybe the next time they could get the Capital One barbarians to play the PC guys.

I think Apple has made it clear on numerous occassions that they are predominantly a consumer-oriented company. Their marketing people have chosen a certain market and have created a campaign that they believe appeals to that market.

Damn Edison, how do you keep the ladies off?

No matter who they choose to do the ad's you would still have people having opinions like this. They could have used the Cave Men, but then people would be irritated that the mac guy was in a suit, etc. I think the Casual look works for Mac. Yes people fom all standards use the mac (except for those who leech on welfare but that's another topic).
