[DM-MUG] Apples in the Enterprise

[kcrouch]

Correction Chris. Beside your unauthorized iBook, there are 20 Macs riding on the stagecoach (marketing and such). And just a few months ago they were all running a different version of Mac OS. The 'Powers-that-be' are now allowing those few Mac users to standardize on one version of OS. Only 20 Macs in a sea of thousands of PCs.

And quit knocking the $2500/seat software. Some of us need WebSphere. Even though Eclipse is basically the same thing for free.
