"Macs are easier to set up, easier to load software onto, and easier to maintain. Our school is a primary Windows user and the PCs, when they go down, have to be carried out from the lab and are out of commission for a while. Macs RARELY do this (and no, Jobs isn't paying me to say this). Mac is an educational dream computer: it's point and click (NOT over a dinosaur DOS skeleton) makes it an ideal computer to teach on and to use. Yet, the PC megagiants continue their insidious grasping of every area in which the Mac could -- and should -- easily reign supreme. Is it tied to graft? Blackmail? Alas! Perhaps tied only to the stupidity of administrators who buy into the PC promotional media..." - -- We Waisala, Adjunct, Ramapo, New Jersey (posted 1/9, 11:45 a.m., E.S.T.) <http://chronicle.com/colloquy/letters/11.htm> |
