trystinnLast year I actually considered getting a Mac for awhile, if for no other reason than to use the ones at the bookstore better. That plan was quickly set aside after upgrading my pc and finding out that the master Apple plan is for you to loose all your purchased music when you re-install iTunes. Riiiight. I did manage to figure out how to rip my purchased music off my old hard drive, though. And of course, their support center was less than helpful in doing so.
Personally, if iTunes was supposed to convert PC owners, they've sadly overestimated the allure of their resource intensive, minimally adaptive iTunes. Gah! Still looking for another solution to using iTunes that will still work with my cell phone.
That said, I adore Mac's advertisements! I've been watching them on their website and scaring the dogs with wild cackling. Seems I've either missed a few or some of them are web-based only. They are particularly funny when you realize there's a bit of a similar take you could take with the BTW and Neo-Wiccans, as Josh pointed out. Though there's arguments to be made on either side as to who is the Mac and who is the PC there. Watching the commericals with that in mind has been rather hysterical.

The photo is captioned "David M. and the Groomsmen of the Apocalypse." People always say that in that shot I look like I should have an earbud wire coming up from under my collar and a bulge on my hip under the tux jacket.
The icon on this post is more recent. I've had hair shift from the top of my head to the bottom of it, and some of my chest has moved south of my belt, but it's still pretty much the same me. I'm working on moving the muscle back north of the waistline, but it's a slow and not-entirely-comfortable process.
