Macintosh-using businesses to get free advertising
Here at billpalmer.net, we like to kill off misconceptions about the Macintosh as often as we can. This month's victim will be the misguided notion that the business world uses PC's, and therefore so should schools. Even if the business world were 100% PC-based, there would still be no excuse on earth for putting PC's in schools. But this time around, let's focus on the other half of the misconception: that businesses use PC's. Sure, the majority of them do. But plenty of businesses, especially those that are involved in publishing, graphic design, animation, music, artistry, etc., do in fact use Macs for some or all of their business needs.
In order to emphasize that fact, and to kill off yet another misconception in the process, I'm going to build a list down the left side of this site that includes every Mac-using business that wishes to have its name included, world-wide. Included will be a link to your company's website, which means free advertising for you. If you'd like to see your company's name listed, or if you know of a Macintosh-using business that you think deserves recognition, just write to me at billpalmer@mac.com.
Your company doesn't need to be 100% Macintosh-based to qualify for the list. The point being made here is that if someone goes to work for your company, there's at least a chance that he or she will be using a Macintosh (businesses who can claim to be "100% Macintosh" will receive a special designation). This way, the next time some pinhead tries to discourage the use of Macs in schools under the mantra, "the business world uses PC's"...you'll need to look no further than billpalmer.net to disprove such nonsense.
