"Dan Fischler, president of the Scotts Valley, Calif.-based IT consultancy, estimates that one tech support person can manage 50 to 75 Macs, whereas ideally, there should be one for every 20 to 25 Windows PCs. That's because of the high level of integration between the hardware and the software in a Mac, suggests Gary Winterboer, IT support engineer at AeroVironment Inc., an aerospace design firm in Monrovia, Calif. For example, Apple includes its Server Assistant tool, which sets up an Xserve machine with a single click. And the Server Admin tool lets users turn individual features on or off with a mouse click."

I laugh every time I stop by the local paper and see a dozen Bondi Blue machines in the advertising department. My grand daughter still has her Bondi Blue I bought her when the iMac came out. Her aunt still has the Performa 6200 that came before the iMac...

"The Mac is suddenly and uncharacteristically a low-cost option for IT shops."

Heh... that's nothing new.
