Laptops stolen from DPS

Unix, not Linux.

The new Apple Macintosh platform of computers now run on a Linux-based system [[OSX Leopard Snow to be specific) and can be set up for dual OS - Mac or PC with far less virus issues. Additionally, Adobe applications and MS Office work well in the Mac set up. Specifically the Adobe suite of software has expanded far and beyond just printed graphics being more multi-media, video, music and web based as time has progressed.

Apple Macs in general are far more reslient to virus then PC based machines. This is especially so in a class room where viruses pass thru even the most vigilant firewalls and security measures. IMO, Macs have a much longer shelf life in the lab setting... they can be broken but as a rule keep going for the most part while PC's succumb to viruses and must configured and reset and replaced.
