I think that is a capitol idea! There are so many wonderful people in our
community who love Macs and do interesting stuff with them. (Even lil'
Valerie Burtonelli loves her Macs and espouses their virtues on the Tonight
show with out being remunerated by Apple).
I would be much more receptive as an end user of Macs to an ad like this vs.
the current switch campaign which is already getting on mine (and everyone
else's) nerves.
The thought comes to mind, "Wow, I never knew Microsoft Word could be such a
fun product - at least the Mac version is, look how wonderful this product
is!"
As I said earlier after two of these switch commercials, I start getting
really turned off - and like it or not, my tastes are the average of the
majority of Americans which means that this whole switch thing is going to
be rapidly loose any effectiveness that it might currently have.

Thanks for the correction! I just knew it was being renovated and moved
temporarily but was not clear on where it was going. There are a couple of
other TV Shows you can be an audience for as well: Carson Daly's way cool
Last Call, MTV's thing during the afternoon in times square, you could also
go to NBC and hold up a Mac sign on the Today Show if you have time.
My personal best,
