Shining up that Apple. . . "Get a Mac" campaign starts

You may already have seen one of Apple's new ads from its "Get a Mac" campaign, which has opened to rave reviews from most who've seen it.  In case you haven't seen them yet, you can view the ads on Apple's web site.

They're definitely fun to watch.  The part of "I'm a PC" is played by corporate-looking John Hodgman from "The Daily Show." The part of  "I'm a Mac" is played by cool cat Justin Long from "Herbie Fully Loaded."  Just by looking at them you quickly get the idea Apple wants to portray for its brand - Apples are cool and fun, while PCs are stodgy and old-fashioned.
