John Hodgman, PC in Apple's Mac Ads, Admits to Being a Loyal Apple Customer

Even the Guy Who Plays a PC Is a Mac

June 11, 2008

I've outed John Hodgman before for being an iPhone user (scandal), and I have heard rumblings that he is not, in fact, a PC user. Now I've got it straight from the horse's mouth!

He recently came clean and admitted his devotion to Apple:

"I play a PC only on television. I've used Macs since 1984. When I was a kid, I talked my dad into getting the very first Mac and I've been loyal to the brand ever since."

Yep, I think he's my favorite tech star!

I think Mac are great for typesetting, but for everything else I'll stick to my pc, thank you. No flaming please!

Well it wouldn't make sense for him to help max advertise, or to make fun of PCs, if he wasn't a mac user...

Traitor! Deceiver! Although, I have to admit, the only reason I don't like Macs is because I've used a PC since I was 8 and the first 3 Macs I ever used (which belonged to other people) were ancient, slow, confusing things that didn't make any noise to let you know if they were working or not and didn't have any games. Also, I like to upgrade compy innards. They're pretty, but I am a tinkerer and they are not for me.

Psssssh... I already knew this. He talked on "This American Life" and described his experience when entering the Apple store.
