Perhaps you can hold out until next year when the new Mac-Intels are out. Then you can boot in XP or Tiger depending on whether or not your IT buddy is hovering about ( ;-) ). Or, maybe by then, the whole company will have converted to the Intel flavour of OS X!
(Sorry, I'm hoping to find the silver lining in this news. I hope you can use your Mac at work. I've given up on that, but years ago I schlepped my Plus into work at local power utility because I could finish a job that in PC Lotus 123 took 8 hours in 1/2 hour in Excel. I was accused of creating a "data island" by the IT staff who were clueless that I could export to Lotus format.) bem Mac Plus SE/30 Wallstreet eMac Pismo --- Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Dylan McDermond wrote: > > > On Jul 5, 2005, at 4:42 PM, Don wrote: > > > > > Maybe you could find a Mac Genius (form an Apple > store, a Mac > > > user group, a local college or university) in > your area who could > > > come into > > > the office with you and help get you into their > network. > > > > > > > It's just a hunch, but something tells me that the > IT guy wouldn't > > take kindly to someone fiddling with "their" > network, especially to > > get a machine they don't want supported onto it. > > > > - Dylan > > > > I'm sure that's a good hunch.... but a Machead who > speaks "the language" > might be able to bridge the gap between the IT and > Claire's Mac without > doing any hands on fiddling.
