: The choice between Windows and MacOS will partly be determined by any software your course will require, or recommend, that you run. Surely ''almost'' everything they'd require you to know will run on both, but (particularly for a subject like yours) there may be some odd thing that they use (often that they've written themselves) that might not work on every platform you might wish. So I'd speak to the faculty. Also you might wish to wait until you've enrolled/matriculated, as some colleges can get you steep educational discounts on both computer hardware and software. Again, check with the college. -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter|Talk]] 18:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
