"windows 98 was Mac 86"

Even if that were true, and it isn't, so?

For example, MacOS circa 1986, well any flavor actually, didn't do preemptive multi-tasking. Win98 did. Usually at least.

"I was referring to their lap tops and what the bring to class. Maacs"

They have to bring their own laptops to class?

How... quaint.

I guess that 'school' hasn't heard of something called a 'network'. They can be handy, you know...

Most of the smarter kids are gamers. No respectable gamer would own a Mac. You can't overclock them and there aren't any high end video cards for them. No customization. Too few games ever make it there. Ask Ten.
