IDC recently did a study and found Apple leads the U.S. Education market in sales by a 2:1 margin over its next highest competitor. http://www.maccentral.com/news/0003/09.education.shtml has the story.

My PB G3 has infrared and the portable PC too, but I doubt it'd be a slow option. What about Ethernet, serial or SCSI connection? Maybe etherenet is the best and fastest solution. Do I need any special software to work over this network solution, are there any shareware software for the case? I'd like to connect Mac and PC overall to exchange files and maybe use a common printer/scanner. ** Arch.
