Macs are standards in pretty much every creative field. Whether it be Graphics, Music, Movies, Web Design, or whatever. The business community such as accounting, retail, ect. use Wintel machines. The processor on the Mac just handles graphics better. It easily out performs Windows based machines in video game test such as the FPS in Quake 3. Also yes there are what, 5% of the overall software available on the Mac but what does it not have? 52 versions of Breakout, 32 versions of pong, and all those other cheap $4.99 software you know you will never buy. So why is having them an asset? Mac does have decent games, such as Shadow Bane, Dungeon Siege, EverQuest, Halo: Combat Evolved, Lineage, Medal of Honor: Spearhead, Quake III, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Neverwinter Nights ,Aliens vs. Predator 2, Ghost Recon: Game of the Year, ect.

Cybersaur: No idea what/how that person in that movie got those problems, I do remember some of those problems in the old days before OSX but I literally never see them now a days. My friend has a simple Dell notebook, you know the one he got off the TV for like $999. And he can't stop complaining about it. The newest problem is that Flash movies won't play for no apparent reason. No messages or anything it just doesn't work. Even after reinstalling the software. Also about your school, I'm sorry to hear that, and its hard for schools to get funding for new computers too. Let me guess, they are those stupid iMacs right? The ones that are all in one but cannot be upgraded? That would sound about right for a school to buy. And they use OS 9.1? Ow.
