 I thought you might be interesting in reading the following message
 exchange. This message was received on IBM support web site and was
 passed on to me by a fellow Mac afficionado, who works for them.

 It seems like some Wintel PC administartors are starting to feel the
 heat of the competition from iMacs .....

 Well, if businesses start switching back to macintoshes there will be
 many of those administrators unemployed soon!

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

 I am the network manager of a mid-size company. We are currently fitted
 with PCs (around 65 running windows 95, of which about half are from
 IBM) running on ethernet.
 Everything was fine until last week, or until top management starting
 talking about replacing all of them with iMacs.

 In fact, they have started bringing in 2 of those machines on monday.
 This was for a test, and I was sure they were going to be sent
 back right away, since they are incompatible with our PCs. But, to my
 surprise the secretaries were very happy with them, and set them up on
 the ethernet by themselves in about 10 minutes. The worst thing is that
 they have Office 98 and can access and exchange transparently files
 with the other PCs ....

 The problem is the last batch of PCs we got (3 machines from Compaq and
 Windows 95) took us half a day to configure and set up. Top management
 couldn't believe it when the secretaries got their machine up and
 running so quickly.
 Also, they like the fact there is no floppy drive, so they say, nobody
 can copy software for home use ....

 We are afraid they might really replace all the PC with iMacs and if
 those machine are so easy to set up and maintain, I might be out of
 work soon.

 Can you help me, or give me some ammo against Apple macintoshes
