Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer
Esther Schindler writes "Not just another 'why big companies should adopt Macs' article, CIO is running a piece assuming that Macs are already on the way in the door. Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer offers advice to IT managers about how to integrate Apple systems into the existing IT infrastructure, and offers hints from leading Mac OS X experts on configuring those systems once they've arrived. '[A] key element in corporate Macintosh adoption is the importance of third-party software and custom solutions. They can help smooth the way for integrating Macs onto the network. While specialists say they wish third-party support were greater, the openness of the Mac makes correcting issues possible. Don't discount the lure of the well-worn path that draws and then traps your IT staff into familiar habits.'"

FORD: "Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge"
A while back I happened to be standing on the side of the road in front of a Ford factory with a giant Ford logo in front, while a rusty Ford Festiva tried again and again to make it up the fairly small hill the road went up. It stalled out about 5 times then went back the way it came. If only I'd had a video camera. Seriously though, I replaced almost every critical part of my old Ford at least twice while I was in school and they would have to do a hell of a lot to ever win me back as a customer.
