	Another consideration is the type(s) of machines available in "public" micro 
	facilities on the campus (and what will be available at home during vacations).
	
	Many Universities (mine included) are actively supportly both IBM and Mac, with 
	many such machines (ca. 1000) available for student use. Some colleges at a 
	university may strongly encourage a particular machine, or may encourage that 
	none be bought until there is a clear need. 
	
	Macs, IBMs, and sometimes AT&T, etc., can often be bought at very large 
	discounts by university students, staff, and faculty. Such machines will then 
	be eligible for that Universities service during warantee. A service contract 
	can sometimes be purchased (often a good idea).
