Hi.At the moment I am considering my options in regard to macs which I think
are more user friendly/flexible in use for my work.The usual problem of
course is pcs versus apple ( which most staff are un familiar with.)The
environment is one(that is inhouse) where networking is achieved through a
vpn.most access via ibm thinkpads or ibm pcs.The set up and programs are
basically geared towards a more ibm based environ.I can see no distinct and
specific reason why I need to use ibm equipment.I can access all access
based databses via the existing desktop pcs.I should surely be able to
configure for email on this network(I hope).Is there something I am perhs
not considering in choosing the right option.Secondly should it be  a
powerbook solution or an i book ( I have to of course justify budget
restrictions) Any opinions welcome.Thanks.

Fear of the pc!?
For the Dune fans;
"The Litany Against Fear

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
