G5 TV Ad Distasteful & Disturbing

[jgvp]

That was exactly my reaction to that commercial too. I couldn't believe 
my eyes after following the camera through the destruction when it 
finally came to rest on the G5. I don't see the analogy, I regard Macs 
more in terms of constructive rather than destructive.

Incidentally, what do you think of being offered $1100Cdn for a 867Mhz 
G4 Quicksilver in a trade-in on a G5 ?
