  • Without Microsoft, Apple would've been today. Apple is here (which is good) for Microsoft.

    At the time, I think Macs were really bad computers. People that bought them were just people that wanted to be "different" and all of that, but they were very bad computers.

  • What's with John Cleese putting on an American accent!! He sounds so much better just being himself.

  • LOL! Love these ads! Ironically, I moved from a 2004 Compaq 5200 to a 2008 iMac, and the mac simply works better. The Compaq was flooded with viruses.

  • It didn't; Apple's computers weren't called Macs at that time.

  • does anybody know where to find the US tv ad with John Cleese from 1988 or 1990. I think it was an ad for a chocolate, first he showed the british way then he showed the american way jumping through some paper circus ring

  • Way back in the day when Mac first came out, it probably wasn't compatible with very much and wasn't easy to upgrade (relatively speaking). Obviously they corrected this on some level later on.

    ...sarcasm, right?

    Seriously, though, c'mon. Sarcasm? Please?

  • John Cleese does a better American accent than Eric Idle, who's done American characters himself. Clever.
