(10/28/2002) New mirrors are added at the bottom of the list -- try them first!

(10/25/2002) Someone mailed me asking how I set about writing the script for the parody. I didn't really have one;
I ranted at the camera for about ten minutes, and culled out what I liked. That's also why the thing runs long;
I don't know how the other parodies fit so much funny stuff into just thirty seconds.

(10/15/2002) IGN's Mac site thought my ad wasn't funny.
That's like fate saying "kudos, kid! Aces!" and winking at you. By the way, I've gotten mail from a number of people
who think I'm making fun of Macs or their users. I'm making fun of the ads (and towards the end, the parodies).
There's a difference. Apple's ads are all smarmy elitist crap, regardless of
whether or not the product is any good.

(10/4/2002) ellenfeiss.net linked the parody. Thanks, guys!

(9/14/2002) One new mirror! Also, folks, I ain't doing this solely for your entertainment. Okay, I am. But at least visit the rest of my site.

(9/12/2002) My kingdom for mirrors! I'm getting killed! Had to take down the direct link.
Visit a random mirror, folks, they'll treat you right. I'll link to anyone mirroring me. This is like a traffic mill up in this piece.

(9/11/2002) Another mirror, and Penny Arcade linked me. Still no masses of visitors from
any Apple sites, but that's probably a good thing.

(9/9/2002) Looks like I've drummed up a couple mirrors, but don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, folks.

(9/8/2002) I'm looking for mirrors for this Switch ad. The file is about 2.1 MB.
It's gotten a lot of views, and I imagine it's going to get a lot more, probably beyond my bandwidth capacity.
Contact me if you're willing to host it.
