A MAC for me?
I’m beginning to convert to MAC.
Having spent the day putting imovie and iphoto through their paces I can see why, "when you use a MAC you’ll not want to back" (- if that catchphrase has not been coined yet I’ll take a grand a pop thanks). The use is so effortless. I was very fortuate to be lent the MAC for the day. But what sort is it. I never realised they can in different sizes. I know the big desktop with the CPU in the screen and I know the Macbook, imac?? Is this an ibox?? or something else? Anyone?
Hi ya there Simon
Welcome to the dark side !! That there would be a mac mini my friend.
It’s a Mac mini- great for converting people over from the dark side of the force.
Ex PC user said to me the other day that Mac converters loose the ability to trouble shoot. My answer to that is you don’t have to trouble shoot nearly as often- it is a good skill to lose!
Yay for Macs, I work across both PC and Mac on my MacBook Pro but totally prefer Mac Software like the ones you have mentioned iMovie and iPhoto, the Mac you have here is a ‘Mac Mini’.
It’s hard to believe that there are still some people in education who use PCs. If it’s creative, open-ended, higher order thinking tasks you want for kids, then Macs are what’s needed. Kids and teachers find them so easy to use, and the projects kids can do with the iLife and iWork suites are simply unbelievable. Still, over here in NSW, the government push is to supply schools with PCs because they’re cheaper and allegedly easier to maintain. It’ll be a great day when bureaucrats in education make decisions based on pedagogy, rather than money and convenience.
I say go mac!
