My company is thinking of buying a Desktop Publishing
System. Our Office Environment is exclusively IBM PC
or clones. As the sole Mac advocate in this company,
**** I NEED SOME HELP !!! *****
Specifically, I need some pretty hard technical
evidence that the Mac is superior to the IBM PC
in the Desktop Publishing area. The proposed systems
are:
2 Mac Pluses (w/2Meg Ram ea, 40 Meg Hard disk ea)
1 Apple Laserwriter +
vs
2 IBM ATs (1.2Meg Ram ea, 40 Meg Hard disk ea)
1 HP Laserjet II
Our comparison will be with Pagemaker, since it exists on both.
Scanners and Big Screens are an issue, but a secondary one.
One axiom I cannot change: We must be able to support file transfer
from our other PC's to the Mac.
If you have gone through a similar analysis (or know someone who has)
Please contact me via email !! This is probably the last chance I
will have to get Macs into my corporate environment. I will post
a summary if there are sufficient responses.
Thanks !
