Over and out – we'll miss you Mac and PC.

A legendary ad campaign has come to an end: After 66 movies with Justin Long and John Hodgman starring Mac and PC, Apple has decided to abandon the famous and appreciated campaign Get a Mac. The "Why you'll love a Mac" campaign has now replaced all the fabulous Mac ads on Apple's website.

The campaign was created by TBWA Media Arts Lab, and it recieved an Effie in 2007 and was named the campaign of the decade by Adweek. It was probably the reason behind Microsoft's decision to hire Crispin Porter + Bogusky to fight back Apple's attacs on PC.

I have used the Get a Mac movies in many seminars and workshops and I promise they'll become even more famous in the afterlife.
