retraining?


you are talking about on eof the SIMPLEST computers to use on he entire market...


simle but NOT weak... there is more power there than meets most eyes... heck they are building Super Computer CLusters out of thses things...


Not everyone who comes in the door is always going to know how to use your particular software anyway... and most people i know can find there wat around a Mac with out having their hand held...


have you ever spent some time in an Apple store? ?


People who do NOT own macs and have never used them before just walk up and find their way around like they understand them.... they were designed fomr the BEGINNING (1984) to be INTUITIVE... they are...


say the people at your company use 5 basic apps...


put those apps on the dock... tell them "There's MS Office. There's Mail. There's Keynote. There's iCal. There's Quicken or MYOB."


and you're DONE.


training time 21 seconds...


total cost none... you would have watsed that time later on in the day anyway... and you gain the benefit of having INVESTED time in your people...
