    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.

              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.
