About APPL Management from Comp-USA. >Larry Mondry, CompUSA's executive vice president of merchandising told Newsbytes, "In terms of reasons why we are doing this, I have to say Apple's management is playing a big role. For the first time since I have been in the business, I am seeing a complete change at Apple. They want to reach consumers and they are showing a willingness and commitment to do so. "Apple arrogance is a thing of the past," he continued. "They come in here and want to work with us as a team. This is a change which we have never seen before now."< nbnn.com

Mark, What is needed is an on screen race between the two, represented by, say cars. You should have a way to get two(Apple and Wintel with same clock speed) machines to run a benchmark that is equalized for fairness of CPU speed(any 300 beats a 233, but an Apple 300 beating a WIntel 300 has meaning). The progress of the two would be represented by a race between two cars with updates at 60 hertz, and displayed on a third screen as the judge screen. You could make a race with a series of 10 benchmarks arranged like a race course, and they would run them all in the same order, so each benchmark would have a race point analog, corners, esses, hairpins, straight etc. Of course some cars are faster in some benchmarks, so you would get passing in curves etc, and it should be arranged to maximize that aspect. A race like that with it compressed to a total elapsed time of say 45 seconds using ten secs for explain and 5 for the winners circle, would make a potentially strong ad with huge identification by the public, and be one minute cover to cover.
