The first family computer that I had was a Dell. I was a Junior in high school and did not utilize the potential as I was frustrated with the slow dial-up connection. That said, I have been using a computer for about 11 years. I have strictly used the Windows operating system.
I was interested to finally understand the main reasons Macs typically don't have as many issues with malware as other PC's. The development of the technology has allowed for better security, and the small number of computers that run on the Mac operating system in comparison to the Windows operating system limits the benefit of producing such viruses.
Mac has a substantial amount of implementations to help users with physical impairments. I found the VoiceOver application to be particularly interesting. There are functions that assist users in a wide variety of ways. It has clear implications for students with such impairments who will be utilizing technology in the classroom.
Stacks function as a short-cut that exist on the desktop. Stacks is a way to avoid going through Finder in order to access files and programs. Finder would function like my computer in Windows.
It sounds as though you have learned some useful things to know. :-)
