Well, you can start by showing him the hundreds of thousands of work-hours that were lost a couple of weeks ago to the soBig virus and the Blaster worm. Or the thousands of work-hours that were lost a couple of years ago to the "I Love You" virus.
Then you can point out the lastest security warning from Microsoft. And the fact that they seem to be coming about once a week now. Then you can point out the fact that you are are already trained on the Mac OS and learning a new one will also cost needless work-hours. Then you can point out any number of studies that prove a Mac network is less expensive to operate and maintain due to the lack of hands-on support needed from IT. Then you can tell him he's just a pig-headed moron figurehead who has no more business being in charge of an office than he does running an elevator. Okay, maybe you should skip that last one. Gawd I hate corporate America. (Stepping on soapbox) It is this narrow-minded, myopic thinking that is dooming our country to mediocratic oblivion. rob Diane Stinnett wrote: > The printing company I work for just changed owners, and the first > change that he wants to make is to make our all-mac office an all-PC > office.
