oh boy you're classy 🙂
you should have probably never opened your mouth and given that little comment after i said I wasn't particularly fond of thinkpads. -
anyways, I'm choosing a mac just to see if I like it better, b/c personally that's the only way I know to find out if I like it better.

pay $1500 to see if you like a computer or not?

Wait a tick... this is in the school specific forum... How have I not heard of MAC School of Medicine or PC School of Medicine?

I'm not in med school yet, so I can't say which would be better specifically for that. Generally, I think macs are better for people who don't know anything about computers and how to keep them clean and maintained or are super into computers and can customize their mac just as easily as a pc. Pcs are better for those who know a little to a lot and like to customize. My friends who had pcs and couldnt get rid of viruses or didnt use other programs to defrag, clean, etc had a miserable time and swear by macs. My boyfriend taught me all that stuff, and I went from a Mac user back to pc user. We also built my computer which may have added some love. 🙂 but if it wasn't for him I would swear only for Mac like the rest of my family!

It's called McMaster University in Canada, also affectionately known as the Google School of Medicine/Wikipedia School of Medicine/Hippie Medicine Central.

Everyone has macs, and drinks chai tea lattes. Yet, they produce outstanding patchouli sniffing clinicians.

The entire curriculum is self taught and problem based learning. Lectures are minimal. And it's a 3 year program, no summer. Cost? Around 70,000 for all three years combined.
