Mac vs. PC?

Here’s what Mr. V thinks:

1.Macs are more expensive.

2.You will not get an accidental damage warranty with the Mac unless you spend an EXTRA $299 with SquareTrade for an extended warranty. The Applecare Protection plan WILL NOT fix dropped, scratched, cracked or otherwise damaged Macs.

3.Mr. V is not authorized by Apple to work on Macs without voiding your warranty(s). All repair work is between you and The Core and SquareTrade.

4.If you have sent your Mac off to be repaired, TA does not currently have any computers to be loaned or rented to students.

5.Teachers have developed lesson plans and assignments based on Windows computers. If your Mac is unable to handle a class or home work assignment, the responsibility is ENTIRELY on the student. It will be the student’s responsibility to figure out how to complete their work.

6.Tuscaloosa Academy’s computer curriculum is based on Windows-based computer systems, because, as of May 2011, 86% of businesses use Windows computers. As a school, we are training students to work with the systems they are most likely to encounter in the World.

That means, if you have troubles operating your Macbook computer, we are not currently able to assist you.

So the Bottom Line is:

Make your choice carefully, because the purpose of this machine is to help you do your school work.

Any other tasks you ask of it, will be extracurricular!
