Mac's simply don't 'Just Work' in large network environments. In
reality they require far more support time and cost in large

No corporate IT department has enough budget or headcount to survive
creating work for itself, so Macs are right out for large
organizations.

I've worked in ad agencies that had huge networks of Macs -- more
than `1000 at BBDO Detroit. Problems were few and far between, non-
existent for most users. But you have to have Mac IT people. You
can't leave it to PC guys.

Thanks Paul. Those PC folk have no idea what can be done. As I recall,
a few years ago someone at some university built a setup of about 300
Mac Pros running as essentially parallel processors, and they clocked
in faster than any other computer or computer array ever, including
Crays. Of course, such things are only viable for 6 to 12 months when
newer equipment is introduced that would best them. Such is the
logarithmic world of the advances in the digital domain.

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
