im 100% there is a mac port in there, my teacher gave that to me in year 11 and i answered most as PC ports but she said nope there was a mac one, i didnt know wtf was going on

 

[del]

did she consider firewire to be a mac port?

they come standard on all macs.... but not on most pc's

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

oh very true. hMmm must of been that one she was talking about. Though i am sure i did put firewire for Port B. Man if only she was still in my skoOl i could ask for answers.

Anywayz ill try and ask some other friends and see wat they say. Or hope they dont PoP up in our HSC lol.

Would you mind telling us what they are then? Port E especially, looks like a mac port to me?

im not sure

but im even curious myself as to why ppl are focusing a bit on mac related

our teacher nor has any teacher in scool said anything about macs

our scool doesnt have one mac at all to demonstrate to us about their ports

we learnt about all the standard conventional PC ports

but as to mac ports

thats strange

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

yeah but n0t every school uses conventional PC ports, so yeah u can't really discriminate against mac users. ^.^ Not saying i am. eheheh I don't kn0w that was in the 2002 exam and yeah i haven't figured out that port E.

 

[skool_angel]

my school uses both macs and pcs
i have never seen POrt E on a mac before?
