    I was thinking of switching to an Apple computer when I went off to college. I was wondering if iBooks and/or Powerbooks work on most campus's networks.

    There's no reason it shouldn't. All network protocols are standards and work with Windows, Mac, Linux, ect. My 2 Macs work great on my campus network, both wired and wireless.

    I wouldn't go mac because there's simply not enough software to make it enjoyable.

    If you're a gamer, yes. If you area a designer or leader of a company, no.

    There is plenty of software. If the Mac OS gets more exposure, more software will follow. As for now, most of what people need is at their fingertips.

    I wouldn't go windows because there's simply too many viruses and spyware to make it enjoyable.
