    4th row from the bottom, second from the left. Looks like a female of some sort in a navy blue shirt - conspicuos abscene of Apple logo on the back of her laptop...

    Oh the shame. The igmony. Steve Jobs will have to hunt her down and bitch slap her while chanting the mantra - "Thou must buy Apple. Apple is cool. Apple is truth. Apple is light." Once she buys into that, she'll be a nice little cult member.

      most schools provide laptops to students, or suggest an appropriate laptop to purchase your first year of school. then again, it could be a scrap booking class...

          Actually he is right in the front row. No long hair though. I think he's got Gateway.

                    Actually I should have used bushel of Macs as that is more appropriate. I'm not sure what the collective noun for Macs really is. :)

                            It's cool and all. But, I hate seeing "conformity" of any type. Here it looks like they were recommended to use the macs and most likely did so. I'd love to see a healthy mix of macs, windows boxes, and linux boxes.

                            That's what I thought too. Or maybe it's a school that gives everybody a laptop when they started.

                              Almost any art school would be that way. The people who do the layout in for a paper/magazine most likely are mac users. It's possible that preference has spilled over into the rest of the business.

                                  I think Apple now just proved that a simple design decision, adding a glowing apple logo on the lid, will advertise your product better than anything else (in good or bad).

                                        A MacLoad? Sounds like the kind of bowel movement you get after eating a certain chain restraunt's finer burger meals.

                                          Oh the shame. The igmony. Steve Jobs will have to hunt her down and bitch slap her while chanting the mantra - "Thou must buy Apple. Apple is cool. Apple is truth. Apple is light." Once she buys into that, she'll be a nice little cult member.

                                          Actually Steve Jobs would be one of the first people to say "A Mac isn't for everyone."
