School goes 100% Mac
A new school in the he Jordan District in Utah has voted to equip the facility with Macs only, according to . "The principal did present her new staff with a choice [...] her staff overwhelmingly wanted Macs in their classrooms." Every teacher in that school will be receiving an iBook as the school opens. "They told [the principal] they didn't want all of the problems associated with PCs." The school will also be ordering a mobile iBook lab as soon as further funding is received.

Score one for the good guys. And kudos to the school's administration for listening to the teaching staff and not the IT guys.

Regrets

They'll regret this soon enough. How dare these so-called educators put computers in the classroom that won't prepare their students for the daily, mind-numbing use of the major OS platform, along with the problems associated with using this thing.
You get people who complain about users who open any email attachment they receive, or don't patch their computers regularly, and this is why. Sure, sounds great. Use a secure platform, don't worry about viruses. But then their naivete leads to huge problems when they use windows.

Ask the teachers what they want to USE in class - and then get it for them!
