    Adam,

    Great podcast as always…i just wanted to point out one thing that really bothers me about a few mac podcasts/bloggers & their hate for Microsoft. Well, you read the story about MS paying Jerry Seinfeld $10 million for his likeness in their commercials, & how he is a going to be a “Supposed” switcher because there was different models of macs in his apartment. (This was also stated in the Mac Roundtable podcast just recently. I am not sure who stated this first, but it seems that all bloggers/podcasters have just repeated this statement & no-one has corrected them.

    Well, that statement about only Macs being in his apartment is not completely true! Now, i didn’t go looking for any windows machines in the show, i was just looking at an episode last night that came on TV & i had just heard your podcast & this waslike the 3-4th podcaster that stated that Jerry was a Mac user. Anyway, If you look at the “The Seven” Episode, when Elaine comes in after her neck starts hurting again, there is a scene where it shows the computer desk & there is a great shot of a Windows 95 box!!! Later in the episode, when Jerry is sitting at the desk, the computer looks like it is on & clearly shows icons on the desktop on the Left & not the right side like many Mac computers. I am not sure how many episodes this was on, but my point is that there were also some PC’s that looked like some of the older Macs & that you cannot just assume that those computers on his desk were Macs.

    Also, you state that he did a commercial for Apple, If you remember more recent than that (like last year!) his “The Bee movie”. This was created using PC’s & Jerry did a commercial for HP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeetb9OZVnc.

    Anyway, i just wanted to mention because no-one seems to remember any of these things for some reason. Sorry for the long Post!

    I am one of the few computer users that “swing both ways”. I run both a Macbook and a Dell PC and I like them both but for very different reasons.

    Funny, I forgot all about the Seinfeld Mac commercial. Guess he goes both ways too! LOL!
