Given how often PC guys repeatedly fix the same problem you would think they would be open to also supporting a platform like the Mac that tends to have fewer issues. If nothing else, it should reduce their personal stress level. A good thing.I can only see one possible advantage of sticking with PC-only support. The job market is bigger than Mac support market so that when one needs to dust of that resume, there are many many more opportunities. If their company started supporting Macs and eventually went all Mac, then they would have a bigger problem finding a job later on. A serious problem where you livelyhood is concerned.Most of the time when I've seen a company PC support guy not want to deal with Macs, the issue comes from the fact that they do not know enough to understand how a Mac can fit into their environment. They even admit they are ignorant of the facts they need. Since most of those people are not the decision makers and know that the decision makers have no driving force to try Macs, they tend not to go out and learn what they need to know. So it is, one more reason companies stay with Windows and most PC support people still know little to nothing of the Mac.</blockquote>
