New Apple Ads? [Updatedx2]

Monday June 12, 2006 4:33 pm PDT by longofest
Apple today quietly released new ads featuring the Mac and PC duo that have been the staple of Apple's "Get A Mac" campaign. Multiple users report having seen the ads, with themes including the following:

- Macs do "fun stuff"
- Macs work "out of the box"
- Macs are "PCs too"

The ads have not been posted to Apple's Get A Mac site. At one point they could be reliably found at ESPN's Soccernet site, however the ad appears to have been replaced.

Update 2: Apple has updated its Get A Mac site to reflect the new ads. The new ads are formally named as follows (with links to Apple's site):
- Work vs. Home
- Out of the Box
- Touche

Don't worry about it :) - does anyone have confirmation that there is a new ad, or, even better, a link to view the new ad with?

Apple has just released three more ads that promote the benefits of owning a Mac:

* Macs are into doing "Fun stuff"
* Macs work "Out of the box"
* Macs are "PCs too"

Link (just reload until they show up in the upper right)

The ads don't appear to be showing up on the Soccernet page (Sorry macmaniac)

However, someone has posted one of them on a site called Pointroll
