Macs in schools
School's Out!
Actually, I still have tomorrow left. Hopefully I don't do too miserably on my exams. I'm scared now because I've suddenly gotten low marks on all my French tests. Français est tres enneyeux.
Which brings me to my next rant. Recently we took a school survey, one of the questions being "Do you think the school's decision to use Macs over PCs is good?". Bad idea to ask students, as most I know at least are shielded from the truth of why Macs are superior. They always argue "They're too slow and my home computer is better!". Well, it's really the school that sucks for not upgrading them. Crappy Macs or crappy PCs, it won't make a difference at all. Unfortunately I can see PCs replacing Macs soon around the school, they've already started on the library. Sigh.
I got all of my friends to put YES for that question, but no doubt it won't make much of a difference. If only everyone knew the myths about the Mac.
