Not at all (do I blame Apple). The problem was COMPLETELY with our 'IT'
guy. I'm just agreeing with PJ--we got Apple products at our office
because the head decider wanted the toys he saw other people playing
with in airports, the two times he flew somewhere.
Don't get me started on the BES, either. The whole reason we had that
was because the retarded waste of skin that we employed as IT couldn't
manage a mail server and so had to have someone install and remotely
maintain a BES. Which necessitated using Blackberrys (and their
more-expensive contracts), etc., etc., etc., and precluded (to him at
least) the use of our iPhone for my boss, which meant maybe 80 hours
total of meeting for me where my boss tried everything BUT firing the
retard and getting an IT guy that could make it all happen.
No, Apple had nothing to do with that. But I do believe that anyone
wanting an Apple product in a business environment is less-competent.
They do the same things p.c.s do--for twice as much money. That's bad
business (unless you're some sort of media company, where I understand
Apple produces cost-effective products. I don't know; I don't work at
one of those.)
