My friend Henriette is probably the biggest MAC hater in the world and she loved this film so much that she decided to write to Hunter Cressall himself and actually got a reply:
"Subject: crash different mac parody
I watched the Mac parody made by Hunter Cressall, and i haven't laughed
that hard over a parody for a very long time! it was SO perfect made, down
to the last thing, and is really great to watch if you've had a bad mac day
which i've had the day i watched it. I'm studying to be a graphic
designer in denmark, and we also use Macintosh - and nearly all of the
things Hunter talked about has happend to me as well... I've never seen
that advertising that's mentioned in some of the emails i can read on your
website, probably because i'm from Denmark and it's only people in my line
of work that uses macs, but do they actually claim that Macs don't
crash??? Because if they do, there most CERTAINLY is something wrong with
my mac, because it can easily crash a couple of times a day if it's in the
mood - but to say something positive - it's has taught me the lesson to
ALWAYS remember to save the files i'm working on - and to do it often....
Hunter Cressall is a VERY funny guy and i hope to see a lot more from him!!
Keep up the good work!
Henriette, Denmark."
"Dear Henriette,
I am gratified to learn that my cautionary tale has reached the delicate
fiords of Denmark. Considering that the current Mac family was designed in
Sweden I take your letter as objective and sober praise. If you visit the
apple computer website, you will find the original Mac ads there - non-crash
hyperbole and all. Rest assured, macs DO crash and there is nothing wrong
with yours...the problem lies somewhere within Apple computing itself.
If you are ever in town, please drop by and we can kick a couple of iMacs
around the studio.
...and bring those little cookies which make your country so popular here in
the States.
Cheers!
Hunter"
