I guess another way of putting it would be to ask them if they would like a free computer as in buy one get one free. Buy a Mac and you can dual boot to Windows and you would spend less on a copy of Windows than you would if you had to buy a second machine to just run Windows. So I guess if you look at the cost of the Mac, add the copy of Windows and divide in half, that would give you the real cost of the Mac, and it's also very unlikely that you can get a Windows machine for that price either. Just MHO there. In a message dated 9/22/2008 12:19:56 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

This is why the Mac is making serious inroads in the higher ed market...you buy one machine, and can have multiple OS'es on it. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
