And while Curtis, who's acting off-Broadway and recently produced and starred in the film "We Are the Hartmans," still has a Dell from his days as the company pitchman, he's now a Mac user. "

It's not out of any opinion of Dell now," he said. "It's just what I needed to get for school."

I remember those "Dude, You're getting a Dell videos". I wonder if Ben Curtis was ever a real Dell user, or was just paid to like Dell computers in those commercials.

He is no longer working for Dell.

According to the Huffington post, Dell fired him for buying Weed on his non-work time when he was busted by the cops.

In 2003, when Curtis was 22, he was arrested in New York City for buying marijuana. The charges were dropped, and his relationship with Dell ended soon after that.

I read he is in acting school, so he probably needs a Mac for editing video files since Windows Movie Maker is not very good for editing movies and audio for video while Mac software like iMovie. Plus, schools force students to learn certain software even if they don't own the right type of computer to use the software.
