Warning: Apple fan post ahead.

I was watching Stargate Atlantis episode 3×16, The Ark, when I came across a scene between the regular Atlantis crew and a guy who had been stored within a computer system for thousands of years with a form of beaming technology. Apparently there were a lot more people in the computer, but something went wrong:

“…the computer was supposed to extract me automatically, in order to restore the others.”

McKay: “Unfortunately, the computer froze. Was completely locked up. Probably should’ve used a Mac.”

Check out the clip on YouTube. I like the typical McKay smart-ass tone with which he delivered the line. It made me laugh.

It got me thinking though: we often see Apple products used in shows and movies, but rarely see them directly endorsed by a main character, and certainly not in such a comedic way. So…if you ever need a computer to preserve you during a thousand years of suspended animation…get a Mac. Apple? I feel a revival to the old ad campaign…
