<p>Hey- I'm interested in getting a Mac, but just wanted to make sure they are very compatible at Cornell. Are there Mac labs and plenty of Mac users at Cornell? Thanks.</p>
<p>i'm not aware of any mac labs on campus...</p>
<p>PCs are easier and more compatible...though with vista compatibility issues who knows what this fall will bring...</p>
<p>while there are no 'Mac' labs that I know of, there are a few (wonderful, amazing, perfect, functional, non-blue-screen-of-death) Macs in the Mann library near the Ag school, right next to the big windows.. perfect place for writing a huge paper.</p>
<p>Just switched to Mac from PC... can't tell you how much more brighter the world seems now. Have had no problems... although haven't tried things like Add/Drop yet (didn't have to last semester). I'm sure many other people on here w/Macs can elaborate.</p>
<p>Don't listen to fd36, he's a typical stubborn lifelong PC user who hasn't used Macs since elementary school. ;)</p>
<p>I have a mac and it's worked everywhere and with every program. </p>
<p>Personally, I believe it's superior to any PC - I used PC up until 3 years ago when I switched and I'll never go back.</p>
<p>well i took computer literacy on one of those new blue egg shaped macs...so i like macs...i just know that all the mac users struggled for courseEnroll...and CS majors didnt like them either...</p>
<p>CoursEnroll works totally fine on macs. If it didn't work, it's a problem with the person and not the computer.</p>
<p>just bought a black macbook</p>
<p>should come this week</p>
<p>I used a mac all last year and I didn't have any problems whatsoever. CourseEnroll and Add/Drop is a little slow though because it is not native for Intel Macs but hopefully this will be fixed when the new bear access is released in the fall.</p>
<p>You should be just fine.</p>
<p>I'd actually say the CS department (both students and faculty) is split down the middle in terms of Mac/PC usage. Personally, I don't care either way except Macs cost more and are less...hackable so I haven't made the switch.</p>
