Folks, Having been a Mac user at home since the "Hello" machine in 1984 (no old jokes please) and having been in IT from even before then and into the present, the IT resistance to Mac is based solely on the fear that letting Mac into the environment will make it difficult to justify the staff and operating budgets the IT folks have for the desktop computing environments. It is that FUD that they sell to senior management consistently, despite many pilots/prototypes to the contrary. Just a couple of years I led on of this and showed the potential of substantial savings in converting certain areas to Mac and yet the IT guys (my colleagues) opposed the study and did everything they could to raise the FUD factor to the level that I gave up and let the company continue on it Dell/Windows course. They had a hell of a time get the Macs away from the pilot users! David
