Mac vs PC vs Linux

02/22/2009 2:44 PM

Hi gang look at this blog if you like, I'd not seen the stuff before.
Comments on the blog will be appreciated as it is part of a course work for my Nephew's girl friend.
Why should you be interested...?
Well she has a pet ferret called Diva ... and that works for me.

Thanks for your indulgence gang!

Del

(BTW she's Swiss and is doing this blog in a foriegn language!)

Since all those ads, well at least the Apple vs PC are running on television over here there isn't much new. By the way the advert has Canadian Content, PC is Canadian.

I like the Ferret, close relative to the Lawyer.

Hummm, good question, maybe it is a girl ferret, and the blog looks like English, but I could be wrong, it has happened once, I think.

With a name like Diva, the ferret's probably female.

I have a beautiful woman in my life and 4 children. I have been wrestling over this issue for months now.

Thanks to this post/blog it has settled what has been an unsettling internal dispute.

I am buying a Wii.

Hi Del,

She looks cute but not cuter than my female Pomeranian dog "Micky" who died 5 years back. Her pic is posted in my avatar. I hope you agree with me?.

Das tut mir leid, Das ist zu schade.

Like the ferret, like the Linux. To bad I can't get it to load on my HP (Linux not the ferret)

Some of the add were cute but most reminded me of political campaigns. Keep smiling and slinging mud.

The Wii reason was the best. Yes sex sells but the motivation was a bit of a twist.

Selling with a sex is a time honored and proven method. Automotive industry has been doing it for decades, in fact every trade show I have ever attended had Booth Bunnies.
