Australian teachers using Macs are crying out for help from Apple Australia, as local education chiefs are seemingly working to remove Macs from the education system there.
The Australian Mac User Group (AMUG) has been begging Apple Australia to help them keep Macs on the education agenda in that country, but the company has failed to help them so far.
Apple is the number one supplier of notebooks to Australia's education market, according to IDC figures for the fourth quarter of 2005, AMUG claims.
A report on the group's website explains the challenge teachers face: "The Department of Education and Training (DET) has declared war on Macs. It's not a publicised war but none the less it's a fight to the death," the User Group's president claims.
