The company I work for runs its business on Macs, as do many of our customers. We use a semi custom MIS that handles our stock control, sales and invoicing, service repairs, accounting, MS Office and Filemaker. Payroll is handled via Ritz. The only PC we have runs our courier despatch software. It won't run from Virtual PC as despatch labels are printed on a serial thermal printer, no drivers for Mac OS. We link this PC into the network via PC Maclan. Most office Macs are iMacs, with one eMac and one new iMac on the reception desk. Our servers are all G4's, web hosting and mail all using Mac OS.
