Cheers, Tobes. --- Australian University drops Mac support Thursday, December 12, 2002 @ 1:05pm The University of Western Australia (UWA), which began teaching IT courses on the first Macs in the mid-eighties, has dropped Mac support from its teaching programs, claiming that the cost of Apple hardware was the reason for the decision (up to 2.5x the cost): "There was nothing about OSX we didn't like, we just couldn't really afford the hardware costs." The Australian IT article notes that in contrast, the University of NSW installed a new Mac lab last year with 20 machines, primarily for teaching human computer interface (and is also working on Cocoa software development courses).
