UK advert for Dyno label maker...

[PCMacUser]

Heh just saw an interesting advert for dyno label makers here in the UK. It was for a model that connects to your 'PC or Mac' and prints sticky labels. They had a cinema display set up on a desk, with an apple keyboard and mouse, but when they zoomed in on the screen it showed... Windows! Haha... thought it was funny. I guess PC hardware just doesn't look as good on TV. That seems to be the theory in Hollywood too

Seen it and noticed that. At least the advert claims Mac compatibility. Not usual in the UK for that to be mentioned on a mainstream TV advert!

heh yeah, I saw that too. Ever notice how Spooks prominently display Macs? They have a whole suite of ACDs... drool.

I know the ad you mean (in fact, I mentioned it in this thread), but I'm sure it was a non-Apple display the girl was using? I might be wrong though. But was certainly an Apple mouse and keyboard, and it was certainly a Windows app she was using...

Yeah I know the one... and I'm with Jaffa Cake on this one. Saw it the other day - I don't recall seeing an ACD but I did spot the Apple keyboard/mouse!

EDIT: *whoa... spooky!*
It's on UKTV Gold right now!!! Definitely not an ACD, just a silver monitor with MS Word for Windows on it.

See, some of those PC-users may mock our single button mouse, but secretly they crave it's elegant simplicity...

Ah, my mistake about the screen - I guess the shock of seeing the keyboard and mouse and windows xp threw my vision for a minute

Hahah as a pc user I can't say I crave the single button mouse... but the mighty mouse...well you've got something there
