Dear Drury:
We have a mix of machines here, including two 24 iMacs we used for
digitization work. They connect up to a Windows Exchange server, as well
as another Windows SQL server.
As far as I can tell, they work well with the Exchange server, but I do
have a lot of problems with them not
Photographer's there, but the whole job area of digital media and
asset management were barely known in the 90s.
That's not to say that we're not all endangered these days!

I've always tended to work in a PC environment both work and home wise, with
the odd foray into Macs here and there in certain work setups. But for the

Jennifer,
I appreciate your expansion and clarification about the museum jobs list and

Drury, Rich is right. You wont have any real troubles, unless youre
working with something exotic. Most of the issues are only user
related. Be sure to have your imaging and color management performed
on a Mac (for a bunch of reasons) but with some common sense workflow
