Professionals' ten biggest objections to buying Macs
Recommend ThisSome readers have e-mailed me to ask if I'm still breathing. Thanks, folks, for the concern. Yes, I remain above ground in body at least, and my brain is about to join me there.
The fact is that I've been too busy writing and learning about the Mac to blog about it. My biggest recent print project, InfoWorld's Special Report on Apple in the Enterprise, finally saw daylight on September 22, along with my ten word review of the richly-appointed quad core Xeon Mac Pro. I also managed to get a few words in on Leopard.
Coming up, I'm blogging the fruits of my detailed briefings with Apple on Xserve (Xeon), due this month, and Leopard Server.
Thanks for staying tuned.
