new imacs

[Grommit]

Maybe people pay for reliability, in my opinion Mac OSX is much more reliable than Windows XP & Windows Vista. I don’t currently own a Mac but I am considering buying one. Since I have been working in a CLC with the Macs I have found they are much more reliable. When I began working there they gave me a Macbook Pro, with bootcamp. I love it in Mac OSX it hasn’t crashed once. The plus with apple is that you can use bootcamp to run Mac OSX & Windows, you can’t currently do this on PC’s but who knows maybe you might be able to in the future. I have also found that both Windows XP & Windows Vista is much more reliable on Macs than to PC’s.

You do realise that all the top of the range games cannot be played on a Mac ...

I dont use computers for playing games, if i want to play a game i would use my Xbox or playstation. Anyway the good thing with the newer including the new iMac they are intel you can run bootcamp so you can run Windows and they will run the games.

but the teachers and students wanted the Macs.

You asked teacher and students 8O , your crazy. They have this weird belief that you must have a Mac to do design / art /media which is absolute rubbish!

I agree.... There are a few staff members that think that they cannot do the work without a Mac..... but these people have their email addresses with the word MAC in so I can see where they are coming from... la la land
