The BMW analogy works in friendly territory, but outside it's a bit like telling people they'll go to hell if they don't believe.

I can't find that analogy...but whenever I see a BMW in traffic, they'r ass holes, weaving and not using turn signals...cutting people off etc. like the sticker price is their 'right of way' they might be cool cars but I'm put off of them by their owners.
anyway...the PC/Mac commercials just give me a sour impression...Mac kid being a pompus ass. I'm an artist and I like my PC just fine...alotta neat shareware for PC's to do art stuff on. when I was getting into 3D game art, ALL pro apps I could see ran on WinNT or SGI comps. then some were ported to other windows virsions...but I never heard of Maya or Softimage,or 3D Studiomax etc. running on a Mac. just 2D graphics apps. which also run just fine (for me) on a PC. I'm still on 'ol WinNT here...geez I need a new comp !
I also love Doom, Quake and all Id Games for that matter. these games have a huge community for custom add ons which I never saw for Macs when I was big into Q3A. not to mention the remapping of Quake 1 with modern graphics (bump etc.) I've got no intrest in switching to another FPS games.
I'm curious about Macs...but only because they don't get hit as much on the virus, spywhere, homepage hacking etc. that's about it.
oh, and about the iPod and pod "cast" thing...seems to me I've got a pod 'cast' I downloaded to my NT rig...it's just an audio file...and not a (broad) cast of any kind...for a while I thought people were pulling tunes out of the air like the 'pod was wireless like a cell phone...not so I guess. it's just like a walkman but you can't even share pot to pod...how sucky is that !? the whole "podcast" term is a marketing word and really untrue.
it's more importiant to me that I could share music on the spot than carry a whole Tower Records in my back pockett.
