NSW Traffic Authority Switches to Mac

[doogle]

I read Mac Man and Bleeding Edge in The Age's Green Guide. MacMan is one of the main reasons I switched. I kept reading his articles and salivating.

Yeah the Macman he really is under-rated as a writer. He has done much good for the Apple community (at least in Aus)

BTW Someone earlier referenced the Buzzle disaster as the reason for the disparity in exchange rates/cost of Mac...I think he was right.

So does the OSX beach ball spin in the opposite direction down there?

Here is my answer to the question of "leftovers". Okay, I over-ordered laptops (background), so maybe, just maybe.....

Nice picture. But shipping to Germany would be probably too expensive anyway, not to mention the customs...

I love sigbn language!

Aww they only gave me a wombat

Kangaroo's, Wombats?

All I see people riding in canberra is bikes (moterbikes and bicycles), and also people catching ACTION buses and driving cars, trucks and utes (including good ol' holden ute's).

And the beachball spins right if I remember correctly (damn I should get to bed. Goodnight).

This is obviously good news, but surely it isn't until a major company adopts Mac that things will change. If that happens, more people know about Macs & may even buy 1 of their own. How many big companies actually use Macs? Any news that they might change to Macs? I know there's the FedEx news, but what happened the to outcome of that?

Actually a government service will have more impact because:
a) everyone uses it at some point making for maximuim exposure through own or others experiences,
b) a government company is far less likely to take risks with what is almost goverment critical infratstructure, so this would encourage the private sector to use it for reliability

Actually a government service will have more impact

and governments are usually one of the biggest employers.

This deal alone means at least 1200 people will use Macs who probably haven't before... Plus thousands will see them when they come in to get their licence, rego etc done. And being iMacs, they won't go un-noticed.

Virtually every adult in NSW will be exposed to Macs in the next few years because of this deal!!!
