Cool Waste of Time - 'Switch' Cartoon Tributes

by , 11:00 AM EDT, June 28th, 2002

If you're a fan of the Apple Switch commercials, you'll be amused by these two short tributes to the new campaign. Made in Flash by William Levin, you can catch them at his Mac site macboy.com. The Big Brother figure from the 1984 advertisement speaks about the first anniversary of his Macintosh purchase and how he shall prevail!!!, while everyone's favorite Redmond personality speaks out about Windows, the MacOS, and crashing stock markets.

"I mean, I even had to drop out of college because of Microsoft."

And the Mac humor doesn't stop there - macboy.com is also home to the cartoons Zap The PRAM And Other Placebos, Stories For Robots, and a pick-the-caption contest, MacLib. Sifting through the back catalog and thinking of amusing captions should provide you with a few hours' worth of quality procrastination. TGIF.

Thanks to TMO Forums member hoytt for the heads-up!
