It's a good thing they are able to bring their toys with them because very few corporations would actually spend any money on Macs for their businesses, since well, they are toys and, Apple offers no support for the enterprise, given that it is a manufacturer of consumer toys.yourAlan BakerNobodyNobodyAlan Baker

So you're saying there isn't a lot of Macs at the JPL?
I'm saying that despite budget cuts there are clearly people at JPL who value having a Mac enough to spend the money.
So they are spending tax payer money on fancy toys, in spite of >>Alan Bakerclaim budget cuts prevent this.flatfish+++

their needs.
Also a lot of corporations have a BYOD (bring your own device) policy and as long as it meets corporate security standards, all is well.And again, if staff at JPL are choosing Macs for their own devices, it suggests they value them.Jay Songbird
