I know I ask a lot of questions, so here is another one! We finally have gone 
from zero Macs to 14 at my school. We knew they couldn't go on the network, 
and we agreed to it. But what is the problem? I've been given many answers (all 
different). I've been told that Macs "carry" viruses, even though they don't 
get them. The latest reason has to do with the security of the system. We know 
that our system protects PCs, but if Macs go on the server, there is no way 
to know what they will do? Is there an easy solution for this?

Thanks,
Holly Welch
