Actually, I am able to get an intership with a department here at
school *because* they use Macs, and no one will need to do much extra
to make accomodations for me.
So there.

are available for the Mac, and as much as the truly hardcore
Windows person
won't like to hear it, not all businesses use the Microsoft suite of
applications and are actually turning from them. There was an
article in PC

with
iWorks in terms of accessibility for us.

Hi guys
my department of rehab counsilr, from whom I hope to get my mac for
college,
said the following.
"I am going to give you a hard time, though, if you want to get a
Mac. It
does not have the operating system that is compatible with the
majority of
the business world applications."
Could anyone offer me some ammo for this debate? Thanks
