It's really funny. I had a department chairman in a department where the staff used macs (I supported the macs and Sun workstations for the academics) and bemoaned that "Students should be using Windows because that's what they will use when they leave".

My counter argument was that by the time they leave, Microsoft will have copied the Apple stuff they are using, so they are well-prepared in any case.

But Apple has its quirks a'plenty. I am using a Logitech keyboard on this mac, because unless you buy a laptop, there's no other way to get a lighted keyboard.

And the "forward delete" key is so useful.

The first thing I do with a new installation is remap keys anyway. Caps Lock first!
