You should keep in mind that you cant really judge a computer form your experience with it from a school, most schools have older, out of date computers, and these computers also have alot of kids abuseing them every day; moreover, they are usaly setup by a complete ***** who has no idea what she/he is doing, and in general, most people will have a bad experience with ANY school computer, I've done work for 3 schools that have PC's and 4 that have Mac's, the Mac's can take the beating of student use ALOT beter then the PC's can, and the PC's are a nightmare in a school environment, especialy when students know how to do amature stuff like editing batch files, or editing registry entries. or even get administrator and teacher passwords from stupid people who let windows create a local .pwl file.

In our school, we have a Tech Department that handles the setup of all of our computers, wich most teachers cannot do. We are connected to a LAN that connects all our our schools together and that is firewalled and has the most up to date Norton Antivirus scan. I was once told by them that they would never buy a Mac unless Hell froze over. From my own experience, i personally think they are pieces of crap and hard to use. I would much rather buy an ibm compatable pc because, honestly, can u walk into a local walmart and look at the shelf and instantly find software for a Macintosh? Prolly not, not unless u look.
