I’m a PC err Mac err PC

The timeline goes like this:

  1. Boy starts programming on Commodore 64 and Apple II in Junior High.
  2. Boy uses PCs for just about everything computer related in High School, but uses Mac on School Newspaper.  God Mac sucks!
  3. Young man uses PC in college.  He learns to program on PC.  He uses Mac on college school newspaper.  God Mac sucks!
  4. Young man uses PC at first programming job.  One coworker uses Mac.  Mac won’t work with anything else in office.  Mac will only speak one network protocol at a time.  God Mac sucks!
  5. Man progresses on with career programming on PC.
  6. Mac OS X comes out.  Man says, “Whatever.”
  7. Friend of man that works at Microsoft buys parents a Mac.  Really?
  8. Man buys his parents a Mac to replace aging PC.  They love it.
  9. Man buys a MacBook.  He loves it.

I used a lot of Macs throughout the years.  I don’t care what you say, all those old Mac operating systems sucked.  The OS didn’t even look as polished as Windows.  When OS X came out Apple really turned a corner.  The operating system has just kept improving since then.  Apple has launched a series of ads based on the fact that Apple actually makes an operating system that is as good, if not better, than Vista.

Microsoft strikes back with their new “I’m a PC” ads.  They are actually quite good.

Microsoft has finally gotten hip. Well, maybe not, but at least they can put together a decent advertisement.
