    Nice to see that people are using macs, to me that shows that many Shluchim are extra smart, and all the other Shluchim are smart.

  • yay!

    Why do they all remind me of a bunch of giddy little boys going on a grand trip/vacation without their mommys!

    Why are there so many pictures with Shluchim with laptops? Shouldn’t they be learning in their spare time?….

  • seriously now

    Dear David: They’re too busy reading Crown Heights Info on their laptops….

  • mendy

    @David: who says they have spare time, and besides you can learn on a laptop.
    @Apple.: You define extra smart by someone who uses a mac, but for many shluchim using a mac is not a smart decision at all.

    @mendy, I was curious why you said using mac is not a smart decision?
    I was a little disappointed that I did not see Rabbi Korf’s picture here. I know he was there

    @lewis brinin: some shluchim have consulted with me regard their IT acquisitions, and in some situations, specifically if the shliach is in major debt, a PC offers a more economically viable option.
    However, i am of the opinion that in the long term, a mac is a worthwhile investment and has a lower “cost of ownership”. I have guided quite a number of shluchim in the acquisition of macs.
    What seems to be a real issue with macs is the lack of support for hebrew in office for mac, which necessitates running the windows version.
