This is a good switch add. All these new ones are nice they have unskilled people in them like janie porsche and other(i don't learn these names) that have normal jobs, not like all smart people jobs.
Bill Swan's a real loser.
Modern Printers sit on USB lines, which plug into a motherboard. Even last generation printers hook into parallel ports, which are part of a motherboard.
THERE IS NO CARDS INVOLVED.
So basically, he screwed up his PC by pulling cards because he's a moron.
Apple, using this kind of ad (the new Mac Guy Vs PC Guy ads aren't much better) tactic really are shooting themselves in the foot. The whole C++ Gui Guide vs Picture book makes Macs look retarded. If I want to program visual stuff, use PC! If I want my 2 year old to play with picture books, use Mac!
Way to go, ad team. WAy to go.
This is digging up an old thread, but I thought I'd weigh in on this ad.

So now that you have dug up an old Thread about an Old Ad about Old Printers and PCs, are you proud of yourself? You have successfully proven Nothing.

Damn, I really wish you'd told me that before I did my doctorate in software engineering solely on a PowerBook. Gee, I feel so stupid.
FOUR YEARS
Man, trolls are really having a hard time these days. And how long did you have to search for this?

How is it our English-challenged PC brethren put it? Oh yes, I believe it should be something along the lines of "P0wned!!!11 Ur teh Suxx0rz Icewind!@!!!!!!!!!!!!111"
I am not a loser.
In fact, nearly five years later... my daughter's PC still gets bombarded by spyware, pop-ups and wireless networks that mysteriously disappear... not to mention the various incompatabilities of third party hardware that don't quite respond the way they should.
Now mind you, I'm no spokesperson for Apple. While I think that they build an excellent product, they have adopted this habit of developing disposable hardware that lasts for three years and falls apart. (some of my older macs are still running just fine in the schools where I donated them.
But despite slot loading drives that fail, hard drives that overheat in their laptops (3 drives in 5 years on my ibook) and a re-defining of the concept of "ownership" thanks to iTunes, I'll still take my chances with a mac over a PC anyday.
And I open computers and swap cards cuz I know what I'm doing.
so there.
