[vet-mm] RE: Dual Boot Macs

[Brian Pearce]

We had to wind down our mac lab 18 months ago for the same reason of
non-support by the techs, despite our pleading that in 12 months the
dual boot system would be up and running. 

6 months later the director of curriculum came to a meeting and told us
she saw some Macs at an in-service and all about how fantastic they were
!!!!

I think the dark side might be winning. I tried to log in to my home
imac this morning using ctrl-alt-delete.

We have been told by our techs not to choose a mac, as they can not
support it

Bit sad :-(

We are an all PC school

Hi Jacquie

Primarily we are a PC school.

We have a Lab of Macs running VM FusionWare to enable Windows XP.

I would not recommend it at all, it really is a disaster over a network.
Our tech guys are trying to find something that will better serve the
school but have yet to find a suitable solution.

Hi List members, this is not strictly a MM question, but I am guessing a
few of you may have Macs...

 

I have an ancient IBM Thinkpad (as some of you will I guess) and was
wondering how those of you with Macs went with the Mac/Windows Dual boot
and/or Emulator are going. I would love a Mac, but we are primarily a PC
school, although I am working on getting Mac in out Art/design dept as
the kids will end up using them in industry later.

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Jacquie Tinkler
