Casting Apple "I'm a Mac..." commercial with women?

We've all seen the Apple "I'm a Mac...and I'm a PC" ads. I liked them, but always wondered what they would be like if they had two women instead of two men.

Suppose you were casting director. Who would you cast as Mac? As PC?

    Think of the T-Mobile girl. That's basically the same commercial, except that they used a man and a woman for it.

    The Mac commercials you're describing use the fat, dopey-looking man for the PC, and the cool, artist-looking dude for the Mac. I've always felt that was blatant, inaccurate social stereotyping to try and make their product look cool, because most people who know something about computers use PCs, and in the computer world, knowing something about computers is what makes you powerful. But if we're following the commercial's logic, it makes sense that they would use a fat, nerdy girl to play the role of PC. Someone roughly Rosie O'Donnell-sized, but not as tough or as mean.

    Nobody special for Mac, just some hipster. They're a dime-a-dozen on any college campus. PC is a bit harder, but I'd say Maria Sharapova since she is both good looking and is actually good at something.

    Doesn't matter. I would just have their feet showing.
