I’ve been working with Mac’s since ’90, and Apples before that since 1980. I’ve worked for VAR’s and corporations before settling into the higher education field. I’ve now been at SCSU for 8 years, and watched as the Mac got more PC like in ease of management and the PC got more Mac like in terms of ease of use.
I’ve grown up using Apple’s and Macs, and used to hate PC’s for being hard to use. I still dislike them, but I see the merit in their use. Sometimes.
