| 582073 | 2007-08-18 06:53:00 | When I first went to secondary school I used a fountain pen. I, and others, were not allowed to use a ball point pen. This as the teachers mentioned it may destroy my handwriting skills. In Primary school I learned to dip my pen into ink. This was not a quill pen. I ask again. What school? Why do you want to know the school? :confused: I wouldn't encourage anybody to reveal their identity online. Particularly to somebody I don't know. I'm not quite sure what your point is. |

They also tilt to adjust to the user. They also weigh around 15-20Kgs judging by the weight of my iMac. Heh, You know nothing about children. Were you never one yourself? And even in the adult world accidents happen (hell, The shelf I put up collapsed the other day (I did happen to be leaning on it while hooking up speaker wire) dropping about 40KG of audio gear onto my PC, Crushing it to near death. Damn glad it didn't have an LCD integrated into it. |

Because young kids will know and understand this??? I think Metla is trying to say that kids cause accidents and maybe Macs aren't the sort of computers to take the punishment. |

I think Metla is trying to say that kids cause accidents and maybe Macs aren't the sort of computers to take the punishment. If kids are too buisy beating up the computers they are obviously not spending a whole lot of time learning.... Most reports that I have heard about Macs in education is that kids are having too much fun creating stuff to worry about destroying the hardware.:) |

| 582081 | 2007-08-18 09:31:00 | They love to pull the lenses out of tray loading iMacs (the old ones) by all accounts. Adults aren't much better, especially they way they treat laptops.. The iMac design is a heck of a lot tidier than a mini mac with cables everywhere. No worries getting at the hard drive either. The memory slots for adding new RAM are annoying though. I'd still like to see a cheaper version of the Mac Pro... |
