Thanks for posting the additional info. Certainly more substantive <g>. AFAIK, those commercials are real. Guess you'd have to go to the AAPL board to find out for sure, but they may be a little more fanatical about it. <g> I'll just throw out a pure guess that most people that don't like these commercials have never owned or significantly used a Mac, have a love/hate relationship with either the PC and/or Mac/Apple, or are just plain annoyed because the commercials are way (way!) overbroadcast. Most likely the latter, which goes to my theory on why some (day)traders may not like CNBC either: overexposed to the same set of programming/anchors/reporters/sequence day after day after day. Personally I don't have a strong opinion (love or hate) with the Switch commercials, but I fail to see how they will convert a noticeable portion of Windows users. I must not believe in the power of over-repetition.
