You didn't describe a problem with Apple, dila, you just described a totally inept or deliberately corrupt, and obstructive IT department. I vote for the latter, given my experience with the snobbish anti-Apple bias of the IT departments toward non-Microsoft gear. I had no problems integrating Macs into Microsoft network environments without jumping through the ridiculous hoops these bozos required which deliberately degraded the output of your documentation department.
I don’t think you recall how difficult it was to work with Apple and MS Computers at the time.
