This might have already been mentioned but add together the cost of a new machine and all the new software for your machine to become a Windows box. My machine would be in the several thousands easily. Machine $1500 Photoshop $650 ? Indesign $650 ? Adobe Acrobat $650 ? ...
etc... This shows you already have a huge financial investment in the equipment and software. May not be the only thing of concern to the new boss but it should at least catch his /her eye. mixed with the virus idea and maybe a discussion about retraining costs might change thier view of the "bottom line". matt --- Diane Stinnett <usafdesigner at insightbb.com> 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.
