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!!!
PC = custom dragster that "everyman" can make. With a little knowledge and patience, anybody can build a lightening fast custom rig that will run rings around any Mac. The only exceptions would be high end custom music or graphics software that require an additional wrap-around API to function. PC's crash because people are too stupid to defrag and too unwilling to do the minimalist protection.
MAC = egomaniacal, clunky, proprietary sludge that embodies the concept of the "King with no clothes." These overpriced boat ballasts function well for email and dubbing music... but is that worth 4 times the cost because people are too stupid or too unwilling to put in some time to learn better.
