Macs on the rise at Yale

The Yale Daily News , the student paper of a
small university you may have heard of, posted a
story about the age old debate of mac vs. PC. The article covers no new ground in the debate, but hits the highlights. People are tired of dealing with Windows vulnerabilities and are looking for a different computing platform, but switching to a Mac means using something unfamiliar and costs can add up when you figure in new licenses for Mac versions of software a person already owns.

If that was all the article had to say I probably wouldn't be posting about it, but the most interesting fact in the article is just tossed in there: 'According to Yale Information Technology Services'
registration records, nearly 20 percent of University students and 33 percent of faculty choose Macs over Windows PCs.'

So a fifth of students and a third of faculty at one of the world's most prestigious institutions choose Macs. Great minds think alike.
