Make sure you make your case. Don't just say you want it because you want it. Tell them why you think it is important such as...

Macintosh is UNIX based and thereby more secure and stable.
Macintosh is becoming more efficient and faster that Microsoft based systems.
etc.

Some more ideas:
  • Apple makes better laptops
  • Really good maps still usually move from Arc to Illustrator for final touches. Macs are still better for graphic design
  • We're tired of using ArcView 3.a for Mac in classic
  • Its a full-time job keeping Windows patched

I would also add that developing there app for Tiger they could take advantage of things like Core image, and a 64 bit OS and processor architecture. Additionally Apples development tools would probably speed there product to market.
