** SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC ** Phil and all, I need some help. I will be purchasing an iMac shortly for my daughter who is off to college in September. I know that her school offers a $50 educational discount on the iMac, but I am not sure this is the best way to go. Even the CompUSA useless coupon book does offer some nice rebates on software like Pagemaker. I've been stuck in the Wintel world for so long, that I do not know much at present about Mac software. What is the best way to purchase an iMac (or any other Mac for that matter) so as to assure the best value? Also, what software packages would be most useful to my daughter as a first-year college student? Please E-mail me or post here if you think the information of general interest. Sam

New Yorker installed Apple servers and gained $4 mln/yr As AAPL moves toward higher revenue "network centric" marketing , the New Yorker Magazine's results from Soup's link are worth reviewing: " In facilitating workflow throughout the organization, the magazine uses a host of Apple technologies, including AppleScript to compress imaging files and copy them to Jukebox, Apple Remote Access to allow editors and writers to work outside the office, FileMaker to track assignments and manage databases, and AppleShare to manage some 18 Apple servers. Such efficiencies have had a positive impact on the bottom line. "We paid back our initial costs to build the imaging center in less than a year," says Older. "The savings in production, typesetting, and layout and in the imaging center are in excess of $4 million a year. Macintosh is an investment that has paid back royally."
