Medical Practice Setting I'm thinking:

 Community Clinic with

* 1 doctor + 1-2 NP/PA + 1-2 RNs + 1-2 Office staff 

* waiting room with computer terminal for
  self-registration of patients (with a volunteer helping them)

* a few exam rooms, each with CPRS terminal

* lab room for drawing specimen, etc, with another terminal

* front desk with another CPRS terminal for billing

* Fiber/DSL/Cable broad-band access to fill
  Rx at a local pharmacy online

* staff lounge with OpenVistA server and backup system

* Regular training of at least one staff on using, managing,
  and setting up the VistA system


 Any doctors/nurses out there, please fill in
 any missing links, Thanks.

answers to Rusty's questions:

1.  SMB for Mac - Win connection
2.  SMB on Mac where VistA server resides
3.  OSirix only runs on Mac
4.  see above
5.  in general, Mac has been a good platform for
     graphical applications while Linux has not
    (driver nightmare, lack of application support).
    Think about upgrading intel-AMD hardware
    and suddenly you cann't look up patient's
    CXRs !!!
