I have spent big bucks on a pc for my 3d exploits and I<br>> really don't regret it because my pc has lasted for three years without a<br>> hitch and it still works like a gem.<br>> <br>> But I also have a mac laptop which I have had for eight years and its still<br>> going strong.There was one hitch and that was the battery overheating which<br>> I replaced with a purchase through the internet for a lot cheaper than a mac<br>> apple store.<br>> <br>> At the end of the day its what suits the IT tech dept of your particular<br>> college but I suppose it should be left up to the user to decide what<br>> computer they want to use and ofcoarse the winner would obviously be mac. As<br>> everyone in the whole world of IT , Video, Multimedia and Design knows now<br>> its up to the user to tell the college what computer they would prefer...has<br>> anyone done a user experience survey for preference of computer desktops at<br>> secondary college for the students...mmm...i wonder what the results would<br>> be? <br>> <br>> <br>> Yours truly,<br>> Mario Yannakakis<br>> Sessional Lecturer at Billy Blue College of Design.<br>> (Motion Design and Animation)<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> http://www.edulists.com.au - FAQ, resources, subscribe, unsubscribe<br>> VET Multimedia Mailing List kindly supported by<br>> http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vet/programs/multimedia/multimedia.html - Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority and<br>> http://www.pixeled.org.au - PixelEd Multimedia Teachers Association<br>> http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/schools - Swinburne University<br></div></div> </div></body>
