New Get a Mac Ads Online

Apple added two new Get a Mac ads to its Web site on Tuesday. Along with the recently added Surgery ad that debuted during Macworld Expo 2007, Sabotage and Tech Support are available for viewing.


PC gets a Webcam in the Tech Support ad.

Apple's successful Get a Mac commercials feature John Hodgman as a PC and Justin Long as a Mac. To date, there are 18 different ads available on the Apple Web site.

I loved the surgery spot. So true. Not sure how many casual computer users will get it, as most that I know couldn't tell the difference between a hard drive and RAM, but I enjoyed it.

I think the next one should show PC on life support, complete with IV lines, intubated, and maybe even in traction. Perhaps the Mac could be there to rescue him, much like the way I regularly use my Mac to rescue PCs from malware & such.

Does that make me a surgeon?
