Why Macintosh?
 

• Ease of use: All Macintosh computers come with pre-installed software, extensive Help documentation and the legendary intuitive interface of the Mac OS.
• Reduced Downtime: Problems with Macintosh computers are easily to troubleshoot and resolve. Many Windows NT administrators manage entire NT systems on a Macintosh PowerBook or Power Macintosh, keeping entire disk image backup copies of their configuration safely on a Macintosh. Using an emulater such as Virtual PC from Connectix, administrators can configure and design all aspects of an NT network.
• Compatibility: All mainstream software (such as Microsoft Office, Quicken, Netscape, Internet Explorer, Eudora, Filemaker Pro, Outlook Express, QuarkXPress, Pagemaker, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) is completely cross-platform compatible. Where there is no comparable Macintosh software solution, fast emulation of any Windows or Intel-based system is possible using FWB's RealPC, SoftWindows 98, Blue Ribbon Emulater or Connectix Corp's Virtual PC.
• PC Exchange and File Exchange software (included) means all Macintoshes can all read, write and format both PC and Macintosh media (such as floppy disks, Syquests, Zip, Jaz disks, hard disks, Orb drives, magneto-optical drives, CD ROMs, DVD, DVD-RAM, CDR and CDRW media.
• Power: All current Macintosh systems ship with a PowerPC G3 or G4 microprocessor (RISC architecture) that comfortably exceeds the performance of the fastest Pentium III or Athlon chips (CISC architecture).
• Backward compatibility: The current Mac OS supports most older applications and technologies.
• Forward migration: All Macintosh systems are entirely Y2K (Year 2000) compliant.
• Plug & Play: On PC systems Plug & Play is a myth. With Macintosh it is a reality. Simply plug in printers, FireWire digital cameras or hard drives, video cassette recorders, video cameras, scanners, disks, removable drives, keyboards, monitors, mice and get back to work. No configuration necessary.
• Built-in support for colour technologies such as Kodak and Pantone with ColorSync.
• Built-in support for Adobe PostScript
• Built in support for Networking; multiple network environments may co-exist simultaneously, such as LocalTalk, AppleTalk and EtherTalk.Via software such as DAVE and PC MacLAN, any Macintosh can be integrated into a Windows 95 or NT network and any Mac can be seen by a PC. Any Macintosh can also be a shared volume - or a server - on any LAN or WAN.
• Built-in support for Firewire on desktop Macintosh systems.
• Built in USB ports on every current Power Macintosh, PowerBook, iMac and iBook.
• Boot from any external drive. Any bootable SCSI, USB, removable cartridge, CD ROM, floppy, DVD-RAM or MO can boot a Macintosh.
