    Japanese isn't the only language barrier Apple's decided to cross with its 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads. Those Brits love their 'shenanigans and tomfoolery' just as much as the next guy.

    So what do you call:
    * A PC running linux?
    The Way.

    * A mac bootcamped into windows?
    An abomination.

    * A mac running linux?
    Redemption.

    * etc?
    AmigaOS.

    ITT: The truth about Mac vs. PC.

    "
    Mac: I'm a Mac.
    PC: And I'm a PC.
    Mac: And I'm a PC.
    PC: What?
    Mac: Oh, I can run the latest version of Windows XP just like you!
    PC: But wouldn't that make me more secure than you, since I've got an Nforce4 Ultra motherboard, so I get Nvidia ActiveArmour installed from the moment my network card starts to function?
    Mac: But I AM very pretty."

    "
    Mac: I'm a Mac.
    PC: And I'm a PC. I'm just trying to talk to the latest peripherals.
    Mac: I can do that too..
    PC: What?
    Mac: Oh, I can talk to that sexy little camera from Japan!
    Japanese Girl: Ohaiou Gozaimashda!
    Mac: Domo!
    PC: Hey Samsung-san, what operating system were the people who created you using?
    Japanese Girl: windosu ecksupee-san!
    PC: Ah, arigatou.
    Mac: But I AM very pretty."
