Heading this one off at the pass, even as a Mac fan:

GUS made their call--judging from the description, they've been using Apple hardware in the past. If that's how they work best, and have found it advantageous to continue that purchasing decision, more power to them. If your team finds itself with the money to buy new computers, your decision-making process may yield different results. Both, however, are valid decisions.

The money was from a grant. Grant money = fun money, they can spend it how they want and on what they're used to. Also, I'm almost positive Arthur Dutra is used to using Macs for designing.

Awesome stuff 228! Can't wait to see what you turn out this year.
