Macintosh
vs. IBM Clone PCs : Digital Segregation in Schools
What's
Bad About Macs?
1. Less technical support is provided. This will not affect you much
in a school setting, if you have a service contract.
2. There's less available software; less free software is available.
3. Some software developers anticipate that they will stop making Mac
compatible versions of their software.This is really because Mac software
sales are low.
4. On a Mac, the user is unable to eject the disk while it is in use.
However, this is a safeguard that Apple built in to stop people from accidentally
losing data.
5. Mac mice only have one button, the opertaing system makes up for this
by allowing you to hold down the single button for a pop up menu.
6. The Mac operating system does not come with a disk defragamenting
program. Defragmentation programs speed up your computer by reorganizing
files. In the case of Mac's, there is an extra cost for this feature.
7. Parts, in general, for Mac's are hard to find and can be costly.
