You know Macs are catching on when large enterprises that take security very
seriously are pushing for them.  Why are they catching on?  Well the surveys
and polls I've read are b/c executives want them for one.... (your alarm bells
should be going off right now)  what else?  (and this is directly from
Forrester I recall)  1.) they look well made (brushed aluminum, and a polished
design will do that)   2.) they aren't slowed down by all that annoying
antivirus and protection software (I LOL at that one).
