Operating Systems > macOS
why are macs so damn expensive??
Chooco:
we have about 30 macs at school but about 200 wintels
the wintels are all Pentium 2 233mhz setups with 194mb of ram i think it was (says when it starts up) on Windows NT4.0. those wintel computers work great, they boot up pretty fast, they are easy to use and they get the job done because all we do is stuff like typing lessons, learn word processing and spreadsheets or look stuff up on the internet.
the mac computer work good sort of... they are very fast, excellent color but they don't much care for the proxy the school has (probably on NT4.0 since they already have that OS) because when people try to go on the internet the proxy doesn't always accept the password and user name you give even though they work flawlessly on the wintel computers.
the Pentium 2 computers do everything just as fast as the apple computers in this case because it is nothing strenuous and there is even an advantage of using the wintel in my school because you can get through the proxy every time without a problem.
my point is that you can't base how many macs are used with how good they are.....if that were true we could say Windows was the most stable, most reliable, fastest and easiest to use operating system out there.
i actually think Linux is a lot more user friendly than Windows is.... when my game server crashes in windows i get a stupid message that holds it down so clients just can't reconnect. on this windows computer, every time the computer starts it asks if i want to take a tour of windows or if i want to sign up for MSN messager, just leave me alone damn it! damn unuser friendly windows piece of crap....

You don't see apple racks being used because the xserve is a new product. Also, colleges and the military DID start using apple servers.
And I doubt you even used a sun4u.

i would really love to see Linux come to schools, that would make my day
