I confirm this point. In the SAR field in ou master, there are at 
almost 10 macs in master-1 this year (out of 57 students) and also 10 
in Master-2 (out of 67)... This is a huge increase we observed this 
year. There should be another Mac-computer room next year in the 
CS-department.

Another reason for buying a mac (from students) is viruses... there 
are almost no viruses on mac on the contrary of PC;-)
