Hi Ronni,
I do know that Scotch College has recently gone mac and they may have
had some issues here. There IT person may be able to help.
I also have a Mac-book Pro at my work and everybody else on the
network uses Windows computers. I use Parallels to interface when
necessary. I also use Entourage for mail and calendar connections
which works fine with the PC users.
Hope this helps
Regards
Don Dowling.

Hello People,
I am asking for advice from the Teachers on our Mailing List.
After years trying to convince my Son-n-Law ( Assoc. Principal of a
WA High School) to 'Get A Mac', I had succeeded.
He is due for a new Laptop and I had persuaded him to get a
MacBook. The MacBook comes with Leopard preloaded /iLife08 etc.
That was until ... the DET telling him he will have all sorts of
troubles trying to access the Departments Servers & his School
Network.
Below is an excerpt taken from the DET Website: <http://
www.det.wa.edu.au/education/ict/notebooks/17round.asp>
"Network Connectivity and Notebook Make/Compatibility Issues:
Schools may choose to support adding machines of either make to
their Administration and Curriculum networks, but should be aware
of technical and resourcing requirements for this.
Central support is not provided for connection of Apple notebooks
to school networks, also, some Departmental applications such as
SIS are not available for the Apple platform at present."
Is there a way that he can access the DET Network & Departmental
applications such as SIS using a Mac please?
He does want a Mac, he was originally Mac & only went to PC's
because of teaching.
He is the person responsible for getting me interested in Macintosh
computers a few years ago.
So we need to get him back on The Right Side ...
Any comments and help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ronni
