USA Today's Steinberg Says Yes to Business iMacs

by , 9:00 AM EDT, May 29th, 2002

USA Today has published an article by Mac author Gene Steinberg titled "The Mac a business machine? Better believe it!" Mr. Steinberg thinks businesses should shed many of their long held and very wrong notions of what a Mac is and view the new iMac for what it can do for them. From the article:

...Consider the new iMac's butter-smooth floating display, which makes it simple to configure the screen the way you want. Wouldn't that work well in a business environment too, where comfort ought to help fuel productivity?...

Several years ago, for example, a neighbor asked me to help tune-up the Macs at her office. She works for a dentist as office manager, and the establishment was all Mac, using a special program to handle accounting and scheduling.

Sure enough, you can run a wide variety of businesses strictly on a Mac. When the movie Titanic was busy racking up record production costs, the cost overruns were tracked on Macs. Legal offices, libraries, entertainment companies and more can be run strictly with Macs.

Check out Mr. Steinberg's full article at the USA Today Web site.

The Mac Observer Spin:

Sure enough, this is old news, but Mr. Steinberg is not preaching to the choir with this piece. USA Today is mother's milk to the harried news junkie stuck in a subway en route to work and only has time for news in bite sized chucks. The resulting good press couldn't be bought with all the money in Redmond, and this officially qualifies as a Good Thing™.

The Mac a business machine? Better believe it!
