I searched all morning for a mac friendly usenet reader I liked. I've went through Nemo and a few more. I discovered Unison. So it looks like I'm hesitantly back with easier posting access.

I've heard that Macs are *SO* much nicer than PCs, but I've never really had a chance to use one. Bill Gates has taken over business computing so thoroughly that I don't know a single company that uses Macs.


Our company has a mix. I'd like to switch because the security ops group has started using SMS to push updates to Windows machines and I've been forced to reboot in the middle of the day, and while updates are being pushed my computer is useless. They can't push to Macs or Unix machines. They even push MS Office and other garbage patches during the day and every update causes Windows to want to reboot. It's frustrating.

Most of our Mac users have multiple VMWare images so they can boot up Windows if they need it within a virtual session.
Good Lord! Your security ops techs haven't heard about "off hours"? Our patches get tested for a week before they're foisted on the user community. Then they're pushed out between 0300 and 0600. Users come in to a freshly patched and booted PC. So long as the users know and plan accordingly (don't leave a major doc/spread***/etc. open), no harm done and everybody's happy.
