Hey Daniel;

It seems to be just what you say, it's all little bits of mail. The
calendar however, works well, and I experience flakier calendar connections
from other PC's more often than from the Macs. I can always get schedule
information from our Mac clients.

Having Macs and PCs in cooperation on the same network, (ours served by
Windows NT) requires some patience and most of all the expectation that this
integration will not be seamless. I never expected that, I haven't been
disappointed ;0)

But we've been sharing printers and files all with the understanding that if
our end user has insisted on using a Macintosh, there would be some short
comings and work-arounds. We have also found a few applications that are
web-enabled....

It's not all that bad and we have about 6 Mac's in a company of 50+
computers, FYI.
