Mac-vs-IBM

A few months back I posted a narrative describing a situation in which a
Mac graphics and marketing department was under siege from an Information
Services (IS) department insistent on forcing a switch to PeeCee's. Many
thanks to a considerable number of Info-Mac readers who were kind enough
to respond.

The enclosed archive, Mac_vs_IBM_Summary.sit.hqx, summarizes this saga,
and includes an ASCII text version of the polished PageMaker report -
Final Arguments.txt - that was developed to counter the arguments of the
IS department. Overall - despite *heavy* and somewhat underhanded
opposition and surreptitious maneuvering by IS - the effort was a success,
as most of the hardware items in the proposal, below (including a PowerMac
9500!), were ultimately approved for purchase.
