scootinger.net— This is a detailed Mac user vs. PC user comparison from the September 1996 issue of MacAddict. It doesn't look a lot different from the "I'm a PC and I'm a Mac" Apple ads of today.

I love my PC and I love Vista, My best friend is a Mac-Fanatic and has since the dawn of time tried to get me to switch. Every time he brings up this argument I reply with the same thing "I play Video Games, When a Mac can play NEW games and doesn't cost a extra 1000$ as my Dell laptop with = Spec's then I'll Switch". Might end up trying one out before then as he is getting a new MBP and says he will give me his Old one when he Upgrades. Who knows I might fall in love with the thing, Wont happen anytime soon though if I have to spend 3k on one to get the power I want though.
Honestly, they both look lame, but even back then the "Mac" guy would have been considered lame (at least where I'm from). (Seinfeld hair, denim on denim, ear-ring... right). Hell, at no time in my life would the "Mac" guy have been considered cool. The fact that they think an "earing" was edgy in 96 makes it sound like those guys were pretty damn old. Maybe if it was a safety pin in his nose and it was 1978.This should say, "magazine editors were/are out of touch".Wait, were they from Nebraska?
Apparently HideoKojima cruises for men at the Apple Store.Not that I disapprove or anything... If I were gay I guess that would be a great place to find some tech-savvy manlove.

Yeah, funny on the PC tech not being too out there. Those were the bad Apple days.
