Of course, almost no industries use Macs - the obvious exceptions being film (almost exclusively Mac), advertising, photography, design. . .that sort of thing. |

also, most software packages that law firms use probably aren't compatible with mac -- livenote, concordance/summation, etc. |

Yeah, that explains it. |

The Microsoft Office Suite is available on them and they have much less problems with viruses. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1242998&forum_id=2#14316058) |

Date: March 6th, 2010 6:51 PM Author: Milky knife There's a lot of industry specific software probably not available on Macs unfortunately. Viruses probably aren't a big deal for firms with decent IT departments. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1242998&forum_id=2#14316075) |

I think that this is mostly due to me not being some dumb fat 50 y/o secretary willing to open EXE email attachments. |

Macs are just as insecure, if not more so, as PCs. They are protected from malware by obscurity. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1242998&forum_id=2#14316365) |
