I have talked my Union into buying an iMac
to replace their old PC.
They are very interested but have some
legitimate concerns that I told them I
would research and obtains answers through
this forum.
The first concern is networking. Is it easy
to network a PC and MAC so that they talk
to each other?
Second concerns sharing an external hard
drive.
I know that both Windows and Mac require
an external drive to be formatted to their
specs. For instance, Mac Journal vs. NTFCS
(if I remember the Windows format correctly).
So, can they both share an external drive
hooked to a network? And by what I mean
"share" is to read, write and save with either
computer so the other is able to retrieve and
do the same.
Really appreciate the help. It will be very
useful to convincing my Union to go MAC
to replace their old PC.
