Just found out that we can't upgrade any of our office Macs (>50) 'til the end of August at the earliest becuase of "a licensing driver incompatibility" with Creo's Pringergy system, and more significantly, a Thursby DAVE incompatibility that is supposedly "...dependent on a future release of<br>the Mac OS that includes a critical bug fix that has been acknowledged by<br>Apple."<br><br>Thanks for the notification AFTER the new OS is released.<br><br>HURRAY For Developer releases! Hurray for timely bug fixes! Way to go Thursby and Apple! What GREAT planning!<br><br><br><br>

For compatibility with the corporate WAN, browsing beyond our own subnet, authentication control, using a windows 2000 share and having all the resource forks copied probably in the finder because the MS' Service for Macintosh is unbelievably retarded (no long file names, nested folder limit, disappearing files).<br><br><br><br>

Our server is also a 2004 Adobe Extreme RIP. It doesn't run on a Mac. It also has to be intregrated with the server because we use a proprietary work flow that depends on the data being on the local RAID.<br><br>As for using Mac servers elsewhere, i would love to but the chances of convincing the IT brain trusts to buy a Mac for a server are about the same as Hillary Clinton becoming President.<br><br>
