How about the possibility that the students are predisposed to be shallow or
deep, or rather visual vs. deep thinking, which would be reflected in their
papers no matter which coputer they'd use, BUT those that were more
visual-oriented bought Mac's while those that were less so bought IBM's?

Please forgive this superficial analysis, but I'm writing on a Mac :-)
