    Reverse those numbers & then you'll be a little closer. We're a telco engineering firm. 4 admins, 4 HR people. The other 30 or so need at least one of the programs OSX doesn't (and probably will never) have.

    Didn't know ya'll did the filter thing up there. A friend of mine brought some back (they came with the papers) from Amsterdam. Not bad if you don't like dealing with the roach.

    Let's see if my company can switch to Mac OSX.

    1.) Office or Office compatible productivity suite.... check

    2.) Oracle.... check

    3.) AutoCAD MAP 5, AutoCAD 2002.... nope

    4.) Microstation SE or better.... nope

    5.) MapInfo 6.5 or better.... nope

    6.) ArcGIS, ArcINFO, ArcFME/SDE.... nope

    7.) Various overlays & such that we use with the above products.... not a chance.

    Looks like we're stuck on PC's for the forseeable future.

    Hell, at least I can run GRASS GIS on Linux if I had too. Of course if I wanted to keep track of my comic book collection, OSX has me covered.

    A good friend of mine had done the same thing you did, except with Win2k & Win98 on the same disk. it's been a real life saver a couple of times.

    Just remember that these 1Ghz are actually Cyrix chips & adjust your expectations of thier performance accordingly. They do work pretty good for what you seem to want to do with them though. I think a few models actually have IR built in.
