I have a very close friend who is a Principal in a NSW DET school.  
That principal uses a Mac and has not mentioned PC only formats?
What is a PC format? We know that DET is a MS shop (do they mean  
that?) but I wonder if they are having your Principal on......

Otherwise I agree with you Brad.

bean counters who can't look past "sticker shock"
