Using Macs In The Work Place

Kelly McNeill writes "It's been said that bringing a Macintosh into a corporate environment dominated by Windows-based PCs is not an easy task. Once you cut through the corporate red tape, then get through ignorant IT staff you still have to connect and gain access to all the services on the network. osViews editorial contributor Kevin Ledgister took on this challenge and passed the test with flying colors."

I don't think the IT people realized that by "bring my Mac to work," he actually meant "Host a website that's going to be Slashdotted on it."

Would somebody please...

supress this article ASAP? Everyone has to use Windows. It's important. For our economy. Or something.

How dare you!

Ignorant IT staff?

We here on the IT staff are exceptionally bright and well-informed. And don't you forget it!

What is a mac, anyway?

Don't worry. Slashdot is doing a pretty good job of suppressing the article. :)

Also, if in an eMac either screen or computer hardware is fried, I have to throw one functional part of it away.

you are absolutely correct. as it is 100% impossible to get a MAC repaired.

Please, send me your mac's that are broken and you HAVE to throw away... I'll give you $5.00 each for them!

Adopt Macs. Fire ignorant IT staff.

Windows administrators are the Model T mechanics of today.

What makes it so hard?

I did it. And in 4 easy steps:
1. Purchase Macintosh
2. Take out of box and set up computer
3. Turn Macintosh on.
4. Set Up Networking controls.

I don't see what's so hard about it.
