Office worker
True office. Store support center for grocery store.
Work in a school
I work in a school and my district stopped supporting Macs because "The students will use Windows in the real world, so they need to learn how to use it." I am all alone in the wilderness.
Mac+Win+*nix+M/F
Out of about 1200 users on-site, there are roughly a dozen Mac users, a handfull of *nix boxes (not servers) and a goodly number of mainframe support staff.
Work and College
At college there are only two of us with laptops (I have a 12" powerbook and the other guy a 14" iBook.) The college network is 100% windows XP, but running on a w2k server. Its also only locked down to pc's, for some reason macs have unlimited access to staff server data. We can also reconfigure the printers remotely.
Haughtiness of Windows admins
It's illustratively ironic that, for all their so-called security measures and the clearly identifiable security issues, Windows "admins" are often so clueless about actually setting up their systems. For instance, they think that, just because Microsoft taught them while they were studying for their MCSEs, that running all your printers through a Windows Server print queue, you're guaranteeing that all PCs authenticating against the domain will have to utilize those queues. They never think to ask the question, "how does the Windows Server then access the print queue??" Whaddaya mean, those Macs/Linux boxen/hacker machines don't autheticate against my domain?? Why no "I don't work!" option? ;-D

You forgot "insensitive clod" :-)
Computer Science department - Mostly Unix
Used to be half Suns and half Linux, but the quirky old Sun machines with the nice keyboards have been taken away and replaced with boring homogenous Linux boxes. There's still a few big Sun servers churning away, including the one that I use for remote logins, but they're apparently due to be replaced to turn us into a pure-penguin shop.

It is secure to run the swipe card on windows?
Computer Science department - Mostly Unix
I assume that the door-access machine is not connected to the network. There's no reason that it should be, and an air-gap is the best anti-virus of all.
CS Department
We recently went thru some major upgrades in my Comp Sci department. Fortunately due to cost/performance/TOC we introduced several Macs to the replace aging UNIX(Solaris) workstations and servers. Our main Sun server is being replaced by an XServe and XServe RAID, desktop Suns are iMacs or PowerBooks. We have added lots of PCs to replace our computer labs. We're actually eleminating Linux simply because it's too annoying to manage and with the Apple and Sun server, we get a real UNIX that students can use and learn on.
Mostly Mac
13 Macs, 3 peecees in the office. And one of the PC's is the FedEx shipping machine running Win2K. |
