1) The older G5s just weren't powerful enough to run some of our more demanding applications. We have since moved all of our high end applications over to Precision 690s.
2) One of our major problems is with Mac profiles. For instance Jane Doe gets married, and Jane's last name changes to Robinson. The Macs would shit themselves over the name change and everything would go haywire. Now a lot of our SLA and prototype printer manufacturers don't make any kind of interface for Macs so it wasn't just one single problem. They just weren't fitting in very well and cost way too much for the kind of hardware it came with. We still run them for the Viewmaster group. They have G5s, and 30 inch LCDs. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bryan Seitz Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 9:49 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] iMac arrived today...
