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.

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."

At least 2 1 votes for commenting on Apple cults. I think we have a secret Mac user here on the site. Go on you, disappear back to your Latte-lite Moccacino induced world of fluffy cushions and designer stubble.;P

Happy MacBook Pro user here, not a secretive one at all. Even got an iPhone. And a 2nd generation iPod nano (not those awful looking new ones.) And buying iMacs for the office. And a few iTouch* devices. Its a great cult :-D * Is the plurarl of that iTouches? Sounds dirty.

I have two brothers-in-law that fix Macs for a living (I send them sympathy cards). I'd think they'd both freak at that picture - fixing a Mac is not the easiest task in the universe and especially not the Laptops. But a Mac user squeals insistently "Macs are so reliable - they hardly ever break down!!!". Tell that to my in-laws. A Mac is about as likely as a PC to develop a fault (more for some models, less for others), but of course Mac users don't appreciate that because they pretty much have to take them back to the shop for any kind of repair (servicing Macs [pun intended] is damn sight better money than fixing PCs). One, because they are hard to fix anyway, and two because if your a Mac user you're already impaired as it is. Most of these Journo students probably bought a Mac laptop because they already had an iPod and wanted the associated fashion accessory - "It can even be used as a computer!" said the salesman. "It's a Mac!" he said proudly, and unwittingly* sealed his fate... * In this case "unwittingly" is less than a "half-wit" and somewhere around a "f***-wit".
