I was just sitting here poking around on my computer when suddenly and without warning the dreaded Spinning Beach Ball of Death appeared. Switch to Finder. Beach Ball. Command-Option-Escape. Nothing. Launch Activity Manager via Quicksilver. More Beach Ball.

That reminded me of this idea for a commercial some of the guys at work came up with, but sadly, was never filmed. John Hodgeman wanted too much money or something.

Mac: Hello, I’m a Mac.
PC: And I’m a PC.
Mac: What do you have there PC?
PC: Oh this, it’s just a beach ball.
Mac: Cool, mind if I take a look
PC: Not at all.

(PC hands Mac a rainbow colored beach ball and Mac begins examining it, turning it over and over)

PC: Mac?

(Mac’s eyes have glazed over. A little trickle of drool begins to run from the corner of his mouth.)

PC: Hello?

(PC waves his hand in front of Mac’s eyes. This elicits no response.)
