schools have Windows and Macs both, I always reply "plaform diversity."
It's tongue-in-cheek a bit to invoke the d-word in this context, but on
the other hand I really believe it. I want to teach kids how to use
technology, not a single platform - making them switch back and forth is
good for the brain. And it's very possible to have both platforms log into
the same account, same home directories, etc.
