Carolyn,
I enjoy the nonemotional tone of your post. Don't see many of those when
this topic is discussed! ;-)
At my district, we have both platforms. Macs at elementary and Windows at
HS. We're all very happy. I am the elementary coordinator, and I spend
much less time managing the Macs than the HS coordinator. He also has to
deal with viruses and such more than I do. Not sure how much of that is
due to the elem vs. high school difference, though.
Can't address your questions re: HyperStudio and ClarisWorks because I've
only done them on the mac.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Sounds like you guys realize it's the
benefits of technology, not the technology that we need to focus on.
