Thats the bottom line isnt it? Windoze isnt reliable 24/7/365, no OS is. Winblowz just costs more upfront and for long term support.

Windows has a much larger support base than most OS packages. Chances are that SOMEONE in the support community is going to know what's going on with your box or your LAN.

Linux/Unix/Qnx or whatever flavor of Unix you're running, especially if it's been tailored to your situation? Not so much.

You should have asked what formats were supported by the printer, and formatted your file to accommodate the printer, dont blame the printer for costing you extra.

That's not the point. The point is that the printer used Mac based systems because they could more easily get skilled workers to use that platform. Cross platform compatability used to be a PITA. Mac systems were easily 3x more expensive at that point in time, but it was cheaper for them to use Macs due to ...........training and app availability. It wasn't a complaint about them charging more, it was a statement about what drives the bus when it comes to platform choices.
