nice to see you can dish it to both sides, dan-o. i was gettin’ worried after the two apple-chompin’ articles.
actually, i have to say, even as a long time mac fan, i like the new “i’m a pc” ads and think they make the right statement: using windows doesn’t (necessarily) make you a dullard. tho’ i’m tremendously disappointed deepak chopra uses windows. ugh. how unenlightened.

101%?
@Toto: Nope. One is measuring the U.S. consumer market; the other the world market.
