Classic Ad Campaign, retired

What I'll miss the most, will be John Hodgman. Whether you like them or hate them, Apple ads always deliver. From the iconic "1984" to the Think Different campaign and now its newest retired series, Get a Mac. We all know, Justin Long will be just fine with his budding movie career.

It does make you wonder, however - what does Apple have planned for the next big ad campaign? My guess is they will change focus from battling "PC" to battling Google, mostly in the mobile and small form factor (tablet) space.

It begs the question, if the Get a Mac campaign was given its Batman Begins reboot - who would play the "Google Geek"?

And to Mr. Hodgman - we all look forward to seeing more of you in the future; your humor transcends your geek roots. We love it.

I hit this point over the last year and finally had the guts to make a major change. Yes, I bought a Mac Book Pro. Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
