Creatives

The image to the right is a screen capture from an advertisement on the Nat West Banking web site. Notice how creative types always use a picture of an Apple Macintosh when they need an image of a laptop. For the record, the computer in the picture is a Titanium Powerbook, a laptop that Apple haven't made for about six years.

The Titanium Powerbook had a PowerPC G4 processor in it which meant that it was more or less incapable of running Microsoft Windows. So why (oh why) did the creatives use it to advertise software which will not run on Mac OSX?

Comments:
