About

A few months back I posted a narrative describing a situation in which a Mac graphics and marketing department was under siege from an Information Services (IS) department insistent on forcing a switch to PeeCee's. Many thanks to a considerable number of Info-Mac readers who were kind enough to respond. The enclosed archive, Mac_vs_IBM_Summary.sit.hqx, summarizes this saga, and includes an ASCII text version of the polished PageMaker report - Final Arguments.txt - that was developed to counter the arguments of the IS department. Overall - despite *heavy* and somewhat underhanded opposition and surreptitious maneuvering by IS - the effort was a success, as most of the hardware items in the proposal, below (including a PowerMac 9500!), were ultimately approved for purchase.
