Those annoying Mac commercials....

[Shoeberto]

I wonder if by saying that Macs can do what PC's can do they also mean play all computer games......

It's no different from the Linux gaming scene in that they could run it, assuming it'd compile and run smoothly with the graphics libraries available (OGL, prettymuch), which would require the engine to be prettymuch built from the ground up based around the available libraries. Some companies do it, others don't. Of course, you can still dual-boot into Windows now and play all of them which are based on DirectX natively, and it'll run pretty smooth, from what I've read.

My school district is too cheap to buy pcs for the classrooms so all they get is macs.

Macs are far more expensive than PCs. Apple generally is just very generous to educational organizations to provide Macs.

By the way, here you comic lovers go.

I was so happy to see this after I saw those commercials. I do like those commercials though, they kind of amuse me.

That still amounts to the same situation, though. Schools can't afford PCs, so they take the hand-outs.

Aw, beat to it.

I'm the Hulk.

But only because I was forced to use a Mac once and the menu's and program controls made no sense and didn't do the things you'd think they would, therefore making me angry. I'm sure Gamma rays from the monitor probably helped as well.

I don't really care for the commercials myself. I've always found PC's easier to use myself, but then I'm used to them. I can't blame Apple for trying to make the Mac seem cool though.

I don't watch tv and therefore haven't seen the commercials. You can make fun of Mac for going to an intel architecture that allows users to run windows, but Windows vista is basically (from what has been announced so far) a crappier version of Mac OSX. And regarding viruses, Macs don't get them because viruses are written to affect windows and don't work on a Mac. It has nothing to do with firewalls and everything to do with how the operating system is programmed.

I liked the HAL 9000 ad back in 1999. Using Y2K as a marketing scheme......genius....
