?From the beginning, we?ve only had Macs,? notes Williams. ?We knew that if we were going to put in over 500 computers, we couldn?t afford to add a big support staff...The fact is, we now run a 550-machine lab, and we only have one guy who does the support for us! I?d be awfully surprised if one could find a PC shop anywhere near this size that had so few staff members.?
My local Apple Store - Boca Raton, still had a G4 on display along with a music keyboard and speakers. I think they still have them in stock, at least at this store.
Me too, there is no doubt in my mind that if the lab was all PC there would have to be a full time IT staff employed. It speaks volumes for Macs that they have only one IT guy employed to administer 500+ computers. Only on Macs.

I don't think that's a safe bet. The iMacs look to have replaced the G4s...For all we know the G4s could be at an Excess and Salvage wasteland.
