Maytag Repairman

The price-point thing is critical and often misunderstood...our board just did a comparison, and found Macs much more expensive. HOWEVER, what they didn't consider (and include in their cost estimates) is the upkeep costs and obsolescence. I bet we have a tech person in our school once a month messing around with our PC's. I was in our lab last week and 7 of the 30 were not working. We have 10 macs and have NEVER had a tech guy in to look at them. I have 3 of my own 10 year old macs in my room and never have a problem. I sometimes think that PC's are the greatest make-work projects ever invented!!!! Today's Mac Technician is like yesterdays Maytag repairman.... loneliest guy around!
