Obama’s Team Wants A Mac White House
If you read into this Washington Post article, you’d think the Obama administration was stepping into the pre-historic era.
According to the article, the Obama team is pretty much all Mac users. They were taken back by the technology that met them when entering the White House for the first time. According to the article,
“One member of the White House new-media team came to work on Tuesday, right after the swearing-in ceremony, only to discover that it was impossible to know which programs could be updated, or even which computers could be used for which purposes. The team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software. Laptops were scarce, assigned to only a few people in the West Wing. The team was left struggling to put closed captions on online videos.”
A pretty comical story, but at the same time sad as well. So, how about it, are you ready to see an Apple adorned White House?

I would be more than happy to help setup a Mac White House. I think it’s a step in a great direction. The reduced cost & time saved maintaining a MAC will go a long way!

Yep definitely! But Apple should be prepared to increase its level of security because a little birdie told me that the Mac is going to have at least 25% market share by 2015.
