How many programmers, HW technicians, network admins, etc. ALREADY exist for PC platforms than Mac? I don't see training as a real big deal. With the notable exception of the graphic design industry, I can't think of one that would save w/ Mac software. In the Win/x86 world Financial, Industrial, Military and Gen. Business have literally millions of shrink wrap solutions to choose from and a massive labor market geared to support it. I would be very, VERY interested in any studies you have to back up the claim however. I am not a Mac basher; far from it. In fact I dislike Winblows a lot more, but I need proof. My experience in IT has told me otherwise. Take care.
