The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority recently released an assessment in response to complaints lodged against some of the MAC ads. (Gees they are good ads
).
It’s worth a read. While you can argue some points, the realities are pretty much close to the mark. (says a new convert to MACs). It does still freak me that I don’t have any anti-virus or spyware software on my machine (coming from 17 years of running such software on all previous machines I have owned).

‘Blahdy-blah, Macs are sooo good’ (yawn).
Ok, I admit, they’re not bad. But lets not have a Mac fetish here. We need to keep it on the quiet, ok ? I mean, if everyone owned a mac, the security industry would probably have to shed half it’s workforce overnight. Think about that, my fellow security dudes. (You and I *really* owe Bill Gates a lot.)
While on the subject, here’s a challenge: Is there anyone in the world unaware that Draz now owns a Mac ?
Thing is, if you didn’t previously know it, you’re either in a coma, or living in a cave somewhere in the Highlands of New Guinea.
Yes Draz, we all know you own a Mac. And you’re very fond of it. In a strangely bizarre kind of way. Your friends are becoming worried about your almost-unnatural obsession with it.
