"Yeah, they'll be computing at light speed,..."
Just where will that happen ?
ALL of these kids will be working with the THREE out of a hundred computers sold in the world last year ?
Like it our not, the real world runs on PC's and these kids are not being prepared for it.
What good are PC's, when they always...
But, I guess full time employment for IT folk is important... which I assume you must be (or you just like lego sets)!!
PC=Chevy, it has to be easy to work on... it's always breaking.
Mac= Jaguar, 'cause it is a little more difficult to learn, but purrs like a cat, and outruns the others!!!
Point one: The purpose of a computer lab is not to teach kids how to use computers, but to use computers to teach kids about Astronomy, physics, etc. Sheesh.
Point two: Since Apple is MS's research department, anything the kids learn on Macs will be copied into Windows by the time they get out into the real world, anyway.
