I know what you mean.Its not difficult to imagine Larry David as the creative force behind the show. But for me the real pull was Jason Alexander, churning out brilliant performances ep after ep

LOL. I love the hand sign he does when the Van Buren boys about to beat him up.

Jason Alexander was good on Seinfeld, but what has he done since? His performances have all come off asshole-like since then.

Was he talking to you, pinhead!?

^ This sounds oddly familiar to George attending some random rage-a-holics meeting...

I could go all day zith these Seinfeld quotes!

OT (too avoid a ban or anything): Bringing Jerry in for some commercials can't be a bad thing for MS, humour can do wonders.

Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

Holy crap, they just showed the commercial on the NFL game.

It was TERRIBLE. Bill Gates went to shoe circus and Seinfeld was helping him buy shoes. It wasn't even about computers.

All I can say is WTF?

I just saw an ad, something about Microsoft bringing out edible computers.

Anyway, yes, Seinfeld did have a Mac in his apartment. However, I also seem to remember a boxed copy of Windows sitting next to it, at least in some episodes.
