What if, in an elaborate scheme to get what we want, we assigned unearned credability to a few of ourselves and started an Entity and agreed as an industry that we would laud the opinions of that Entity? Then those few oppressed of our ilk who work internaly for cash-conscience clients can have an industry acclaimed authority to cite. I see this as the only real way to win. Being hot is all there is, but very, very sadly that argument is never good enough for the guys writing the checks.
This thing needs to be very Ocean's 13 if it's to work. I'm sort of serious about this. I think establishing a credibility like that would work. We could spread the word about it underground and soon it would be more esteemed than David Ogilvy. We would all have to pledge secrecy and unwavering loyalty to anything the Entity says. It would require some pride- swallowing and maybe a little soul-selling, but the bad feelings will all wash away when we sit down at our machines. We will have our hottness to keep us warm.
Who's in?

Any IT department that makes decisions based only on cost and not on what makes users more productive should be replaced.
PCs are cheaper up front (however, buying a whole new suite of software is plain stupid)
But in the end, your costs will skyrocket because of support issues.
The problem with IT people isn't just poor decision making but their utter refusal to actually learn anything beyond Windows and PCs.
A GOOD IT employee knows BOTH platforms backwards and forwards.

The way they save money:
Most Macs in his company (they sell Mac software etc...not a design agency, I don't think) are probably used for non graphic-intensive work, hence it is a waste of money to buy macs to do basic office work. This is where cheap Dell's and office PC's come in and hence you have a massive cut in costs, even after buying software.
Average desktop Mac: £600+
Average office PC: £250-500They would probably only need a few really high-end PC's to do the Mac-work, but that's about it. So yeah, they save a hell of lot of money in the long-run.
- For the price of a single Mac, they can get two PC's. PC I.T. support is cheaper and widely available.MakeBelieve
- So in the long-run it becomes economically sensible to go with PC's. But do they look ugly as shit.MakeBelieve
- i like how you pay attentionquack

Well the money you would save buying PC you will spend 4x the amount on technicians to fix all the bugs, corruption and viruses.
