Just to echo and expand on what some others have said...you should remain focused on making the rep prove how these Macs are going to help the company make more money or make its users be more efficient.
Besides training you consider the training for the users.....that is actually a bigger issue and their lost productivity.

We are a %100 windows shop, no mac experience and with only two of us, we really don't want any more added to our overloaded plates. Other than the cost to train one or both of us, cost for some centralized patching, centralized management, what other reasons can yall recommend we use to prevent this from happening. I don't want to be dishonest with him, but I would hate to see this dumped on us without us presenting all the valid reasons we can come up with. We have a windows 2008 domain and I think you have to turn on some less secure authentication in the domain to allow them to login. Anyone know if that is correct? What about centralized password policies, screen savers, and such? Thanks for any ammo anyone cares to provide. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
