It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

i noticed that the computer science dept at the prominent university where i recently completed an MSc were very much using apple macs.
but the labs are kitted out with cheap PCs with windows and linux (cost reasons, they don't need support for USB cameras en masse) ... and a few farms of Suns (probably because Sun gives them a discount to advertise the use of Suns).
but the staff themseves use apple desktops and apple laptops. this makes sense, they can do their unix coding on it, and they can do their office and admin and presentation work on office for macs. simple. and that really is the reason.
