Koolaid
Hey,

I'd say you're drinking some koolaid as well. I've been in two
different organizations with Mac and PCs over the past 15
years. Often the whole PC network goes down because of
viruses etc. or it takes weeks to get network printers online.
Meanwhile, the Mac users--who have NO IT support--work
happily without missing a beat.

If PC works in your situation, great! I would keep using them
if I were you. But there are many, many business situations
where the Mac will work just as well or better and be just as
cost effective as PCs. Having gobs of options, software,
suppliers, etc. may or may not be a huge advantage. Most of
the time, it just has to work.

Now if you don't see that, than you are the one on Koolaid.

As far as the iPhone goes, it's gonna rule the mobile
computing space for the next 10 years, toy or not. Flash is
not irrelevant in the mobile computing space.
