It seems to me that it would be a wecome change for more firms to start using Apple computers. Of course, lawyers are a conservative bunch who aren't welcoming of change. It's easier to stick with things you know will work; even if it is only part of the time. Not so with this firm:
When the time came to computerize her small firm, she took her own wise counsel — and in spite of conventional wisdom, chose Mac.
It certainly seems like a wise move to me. They illustrate a few of the great reasons,
The firm’s IT guru, Michael Sloper, says, “of the 50 iMac computers we own, we have never had one fail. The best part about using Mac in this practice is the lack of viruses. To us, viruses are a small nuisance instead of the possibly crippling disease faced by firms that run Windows. I couldn’t imagine having to spend all my time chasing viruses around.”
I would also add that Macs just look so much better than any other PC. They are stylish, they work well, and they are just damn impressive. I can't help but think that would impress a few clients.
In their five offices they have a mix of being wired and wireless which can confuse my PC. Not so with the iBook.
Our users go between a wired and wireless network and they don’t have to do anything — it just works. The iBook knows to use the wired network when plugged in, and the wireless network when not plugged in.”
Sounds like they got things right.
