			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In honour of my new computer, <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060523/2343253.shtml">some</a> <a href="https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/">of</a> the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/macbook-pros-overheating-due-to-thermal-grease/">quality</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/another-powerbook-violently-explodes/">issues</a> in <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308">recent</a> <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/dell-laptop-explodes-in-flames-182257.php">computers</a> and the <a href="http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/">Apple Get A Mac Ads</a> I had an idea for a new TV script.</p>
<p>So here goes:</p>
<p>Scene opens with <em>PC </em>and <em>Mac</em> standing there beside each other.</p>
<p>PC: I&#8217;m a PC.</p>
<p>Mac: And I&#8217;m a Mac.</p>
<p>PC: Hey Mac, you&#8217;ve got something on your face.</p>
<p><em>PC indicates a spot on his face.</em><br />
<em>Mac rubs his face.  A <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/02/11/BUGSMH6KG71.DTL">huge scratch</a> stretches across his face.</em></p>
<p>PC: Umm, Mac, you just scratched your face.</p>
<p>Mac: No I didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>PC: Yes, I think you did.</p>
<p>PC&#8217;s leg falls off, then <a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32550">explodes</a>.</p>
<p><em>Mac rolls his eyes at camera.</em></p>
<p>Mac <em>(smug)</em>: I don&#8217;t explode, or crash.</p>
<p><em>  Mac&#8217;s leg <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/another-powerbook-violently-explodes/">explodes</a>, but he doesn&#8217;t notice.  Mac <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308">closes eyes and lies down on the ground</a>.</em></p>
<p>PC:  Wake up Mac!</p>
<p><em>  Mac opens eyes and stands up.</em></p>
<p>Mac:  I wasn&#8217;t sleeping.</p>
<p><em>Steve Jobs comes on</em></p>
<p>Steve Jobs <em>(smugly, but that is how he always talks)</em>: Macs are the best computers.  Much better than PCs.</p>
<p><em>Mac starts to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/macbook-pros-overheating-due-to-thermal-grease/">glow a bright orangy colour</a><br />
</em></p>
<p>Steve Jobs<em> (still smugly)</em>:  Macs are the best computers.  Much better than PCs.</p>
<p><em>Steve Jobs&#8217; hair catches fire.</em></p>
<p>Steve Jobs <em>(even more smugly)</em>: I&#8217;ll bet you wish your hair was on fire.</p>
<p>Aaaaand <strong>Scene</strong>.  Okay, that was fun.  I&#8217;m not a PC zealot and I would love to own a Mac (though I&#8217;m waiting for their quality issues to pass before paying the premium prices Apple charges).  I ordered a new PC the other day, and I got some really good quality parts.  Windows XP is very stable, and I haven&#8217;t had a virus in the last 8 years or so.  So I don&#8217;t know what the fuss is about.</p>
<p>I think Apple is spreading a lot of <a href="http://www.acronyma.com/search.jsp?query=FUD">FUD</a> with their <a href="http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/">ads</a>, while at the same time taking a long time owning up to the problems that arise in their own hardware.</p>
<p>While Dell doesn&#8217;t make really awesome hardware, they at least <a href="http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/">own up to the issues</a> in their hardware fairly quickly.</p>
