Apple support was dismal, nothing worked between PC and Apple so the students were always having difficulties. So the university I worked for imported some Apple Avid suites for film editing and some desktops for DTP. I taught journalism in the 1990s and if you worked with desktop publishing, film editing or graphics, Apple was the industry standard. Interestingly, the iPhone has never managed to gain market dominance there either, though Blackberry was HUGE. Once apartheid fell, Apple found it difficult to get a foothold in the new South Africa, and PCs dominate to this day. Apple computers left South Africa during apartheid (as did IBM, Kodak, and many other groups), so PC was always the way to go when desktop computers became the norm.
