What does it tell you if Gateway has to make "Switch" ads? It's pretty evident that Apple's campaign is paying off, and other computer makers are scrambling for new advertising ideas. Apple should just make an ad that says, "If you want to live in the digital age, buy a Mac. If you want to live in the stone age, buy a windows PC."

I think you got the source and the quote wrong, I always thought it went more like this.

"If you want to continue to live, stop posting those awful pictures of PCs."

What do you expect from a cow, the only chips they know how to work with come out of the factory moist, steaming, and smelly.

the new gateway looks like a misshapen beast that has broken free of its shackles and is now roaming the countryside in search of stupid, stupid people who will use it.
