Many thanks to all who replied so swiftly and cogently to my request for justifications for staying with an all-Mac office. Most of the points made were already known, just not defensible by solid evidence from credible sources. I'll continue to watch for others that bolster the points already made, but now the job - as some of you understood - is to fight off the Wintel crowd, who of course don't have to keep everything going anywhere - they either just sell the stuff and/or the support services or wouldn't even recognize when their own machines have been 0wnd.
Also thanks to those who suggested refurb equipment. I've not done that before, but have always bought AppleCare for the systems now in use. Finally, the current system replaced 2 old Wintel systems that were so infested with viruses/trojans/spyware that they took more than 5 minutes to boot, so "been there, done that". The folks who oppose staying the course now weren't around to experience those nasty days, though. This group indeed ROCKS!
