Jobs a gud'un? ... PC and Mac (or David Mitchell and Robert Webb as they're sometimes known). Photograph: Yui Mok/PA
Back in 1984 a young programmer said that the difference between working for Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs was that the first made him feel like an engineer while the second made him feel like a poet.
The notion that PCs are serious machines while Apple Macs are, to quote the most recent Mitchell and Webb ad, "for artsy fartsy creative types" has pretty much stuck since then. The distinction is a little silly, as anything that can be done on a PC can be done on a Mac and vice versa.
The important point of difference is ease of use (Macs are far easier to use) and that a Mac can run Windows (NT or Vista), whereas PCs can only run Windows (and in many cases not even Windows Vista).
Well, the battle between these two rival operators is hotting up as Apple's share of the home computer market rises to a still very modest 5%. So here, to illustrate just how passionate people feel about binary coding, is a rap, done in loud, boastful gangsta style. It is a fairly decent parody of the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" campaign and will, like them, doubtless infuriate just as many as it amuses.
