Let the Mac ads begin!

The holiday season is upon us and already a slew of new Mac ads are drawing smiles from me and other Mac aficionados whenever we see them. The hour I spent removing the ransomware at work last week is a fresh reminder of why I love my Mac. Funny thing, the person who downloaded the sound bite and got the pesky malware was a Mac user at home and he’d never experienced that type of infection. He was totally shocked at how quickly and easily the Windows machine was infected even with up-to-date AV running.
As we get closer to the gift-giving season we're likely to see an escalation of these types of Mac ads. While they are entertaining and funny, they really don't tell the whole Mac story. Macs may not be everybody's cup of tea but they surely are mine. The OS X interface is elegant and the operating system runs as smooth as silk. I'm not saying that Macs are without problems, nor are they immune from Malware. What I'm saying is that for me and countless others, the Mac represents freedom of choice and for the time being, freedom from the plethora of malware that plagues our Windows brethren. As I say, once you go Mac, you don't go back. So, this holiday season stop by your Apple store and take a bite...you won’t be sorry. An apple a day keeps the virus/malware doctor away.
