[Editor's note: Natalie, you can just skip this post.]

John Comeaux, who sent me the tip about the NYC Blackout photo spoof, also pointed me in the direction of Damien Barrett's blog, where I found this post of his observations regarding Apple's inroads into the enterprise market. Those observations are more credible than most of the hand-waving exaggerations thrown about by folks on both sides of the argument (and I've never really figured out why there is an argument to begin with, but that's a whole other mound of ants), because he's "on the ground," so to speak.

I don't know Apple's XServe from Serena's tennis serve, but I'm reading more and more comments like Damien's and getting more and more confused about why it doesn't make sound business sense for a small or, now, even an large business to at least make an effort to study Apple's offerings as an alternative.

Incidentally, John tells me that Damien served some time in Midland, back when he was in the awl bidness. Now, I can see the wisdom of his career change, but his geographic predilections are puzzling.
