My school uses nothing but Macs. :yes: I use, every morning, a black MacBook for the school's morning show production. More specifically, what I basically do is update (and then display on the show) the graphics for the show. All the graphics, main show opener, segment openers, backgrounds, information slides, etc. are contained within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. It may seem like a "cheap" way of doing things, but it actually works quite well, and it doesn't take long to update, about 5-10 minutes, depending on what content we're airing that day.

One day, while we were on air live, for some reason, PowerPoint decided to crash. :P Luckily, it hasn't done so since that day. :)

The very first cell phone as well as all of the 68k and PowerPC processors used in Apple Computers from 1990 to 2003 were built just 4 miles from my house. B)
