Your employer is behind the times, fighting a losing battle. I've worked in the tech field for 20+ years in America where many corporations are now supporting and purchasing Apple products, because employees all the way up to senior management want to use them at work. When upper management demands to use iPhones, iPads, and Macs, even corporate IT departments that are bullheadedly entrenched in Microsoft products have no choice but to concede. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
