Wow those old I’m a pc / im a Mac commercials. This brings me back to like 2010?

The funniest thing though were the spoofs on YouTube. I remember one that was like Java vs Ruby.

2010

I was thinking, "Surely they're older than that?" The ads ran from 2006-2009, according to what I found online. So not much older!

I love those commercials for making John Hodgman more well-known. The man is hilarious.

Lol I am listening to Hodgman right now on E Pluribus Motto as I scroll past and came to see if anyone else mentioned him. He was so young then!
