PC vs. Mac now vs. PC and Mac then

In one of Apple’s latest TV ads featuring the omnipresent Mac (Justin Long) and PC (John Hodgman), we see PC going retro. It’s actually a cute ad as PC regresses back in time with various incarnations of himself through the years, each time promising that a particular version of Windows won’t suck. “Trust me,” he says. Sure thing, PC. And nice wig.
But since we’re going retro, maybe we should look at a few of Apple’s ads from around the time PC and Mac apparently met (according to the ad): the ’90s.
For those who don’t remember Apple’s advertisements from then, I offer a collection of some of the most sucktastic ads Apple has ever had (remember Think Different? Yeah, me too). Enjoy them. You can thank me later.
