The University of Melbourne has a lot of experience in this area.  The best
contact is Michael Nott  (michael_nott at mac.unimelb.edu.au). Jenny Sasse
...............................
Can anyone offer an objective, non-prejudicial appraisal of what one should be

purchasing in setting up a computer lab for biology?

Or data collection to integrate into the biology laboratory?

Is the best of both worlds a dual platform Mac (with DOS card)?

Does anyone have a vision of what will be most useful for CD ROM materials 
(Mac vs DOS) in the future?

Are there any reviews that anyone is aware of that addresses this issue?

We're needing to make some decisions associated with a major building project.

Our present computer inventory (none diedicated to the natural sciences) is 
virtually all DOS-based hardware, but there is a contingent that really thinks

Macs are better.
