I've grown up using Macintosh at school, and PCs at home. The school gets new Mac computers every year, and only has Macintosh computers. Now, the easiest and fastest way for me to transfer school work I've done at home to a school computer is to copy the file to a floppy disk. That way, I can work on a project easier, rather than staying after school to work on their computers. Now that the school has bought I-Macs, there is no way for me to work on a school project at home. They either have "top-of-the-line" I-macs, or two classrooms have older model Macs, I'm not sure of the model, but they aren't compatible with PCs.

I'll agree that Macs are better at graphics than PCs are, however, I have to disagree about their stability. My friend is going to C.M.U. (Carnegie Mellon University, one of the premier computer institutes) and he said that the majority of their computers are PCs, but they're graphics design courses use Macintosh, and he said that every five - ten minutes somebody's cussing at their computers because they fail. Also, pretty much the same situation is at my school.

Also, the only time that I've seen Macs outside of school was at Circuit City. They were I-Macs. I forget the specs on them, but they were at least twice as much as the HP that was sitting right next to it.

As to the lack of developer support for programs written for Macintosh. Talking with a few computer programmers, it's harder to write for a Macintosh because the company tries to control who programs for it, where with a PC, you can write a program for personal use without too much work.
