The population of Mac computers depends on which building your looking at. The stuff I described is for my major and a majority of the computers in that specific building are Macs.

Other buildings (such as a building that holds a lot of business majors) are mostly or if not, entirely PC and there's a TON of them. Not only that, most PC's on campus also have a couple Adobe products on them (not counting Adobe Reader).

I bet you'd love to be at my university, Paladin.  We just signed a huge deal with Adobe and I was able to purchase the entire Design Premium CS4 package for $20 through our school!  Photoshop, Flash, DreamWeaver, Fireworks, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro, the whole shabang!  I have it installed on my home PC right now that I built for $600 and has the following:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ BE OC'd at 3.22GHz via Core Contact cooler
Foxconn 780G mobo
4GB G. Skill PI Black 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800 RAM
Asus HD 4830 512mb (a tad above the 9800GT in performance)
Vista Home Premium 64bit
Wind Ryder 2 case with upgraded red LED fans

(I went with AMD just as an experiment since I have never owned an AMD cpu or overclocked one before.  I'm actually kind of glad I did, because now I can upgrade to a Phenom II 940 if/when I need more multitasking and higher performance).
