Talking How about...

"Simply Powerful" or "Power Made Simple"?

Or were those re-runs for the eighties?! I don't know... HEHE...

This might be more of a tagline than a slogan but...

"Sure, I might have a great body, but I wish people would respect me for my mind."

"Love your computer again."

"It's okay to hug a Mac."/"Hug a Mac."

HEHE... That reminds me of the "iFruit" FoxTrot book! The tagline would definitely go well with the new iMacs.

Although, "Think different" is catchy, there is a better message to "Everything is easier on a Mac."... so why not combine the catchiness of one with the more specific message of the other?

"Think creative."

"Thinking different is thinking better."

"Yeah, my Mac can do that... and more."

"As powerful as it is easy."

"This way to the future of computing."

"Taking the 'pew' out of computers."

Alright, maybe not that last one, though.

Wow these are all so much better than EE on M. I think the Apple marketing department should choose one, (or stick with Think different), and then take the weekend off to celebrate the new slogan. So many of those would keep Apple fresh and out there. I don't like the "hug a mac" one but Simply Powerful is elegant and calls to the techie and technophope in all of us.

I have to go with "Power Simplified"

I was reading the posts and came up with it as I read.. then I found that someone else had posted the exact quote! Two Apple loves can't be wrong.

It really is the best solution, it hints about the Unix underpaintings of the OS, and the Aqua interface...

Another one that stuck out was "Love Your Computer Again" which would fit very well with Apple's Hippie image.

Apple only wins this war if they can prove that there really is no choice in computers... using a PC is just wrong...

How about some of these for consideration:

"Apple, it's just right"
kind of a clarification to the PC users out there.

"People and Power holding hands"
Kind of long, but could be used on an independece political freedom spin.

"Are you there yet?"
This one could be turned around a bit too easily... critics of the mac could ask the question back... but I figured I'd leave it in as an option.

"Smile, it's a Mac"
Just a playful reminder to those considering the mess of buying a machine... and it also serves the people who currently own the machine.

I am sure there are more, but those are just off the top of my head.
