I honestly tried using the Mac Lab they had for the class and I wanted to stick my head in a fusion reactor. A good chunk of the class dropped the class all together within 3 weeks because the Macs were so tough to use. We had the option of dropping the class, or transferring to an online class. I just dropped it and got a refund. I know that Mac's are good for things, but as someone said above, anything you can do on a Mac you can do on a well built PC as well. I built a PC last year where I can do anything I want on it. I use it mainly for burning CD's though so I do not need a $2000+ machine to do just that. I built the one I'm on now for close to $1000, and that was last year. Plus I have the option of expanding it on my own or tearing it down and building from the ground up for a while lot less than a Pre-built Mac. Plus, I can use the 19" CRT monitor I have had for the past 5 years and it gets better resolution than most 19" LCD monitors. So Macs are okay if you want an overhyped machine that claims to be all that and a bag of chips, or you can get a machine that sits there and does it's job quietly that you can get for a whole lot less.</blockquote>
