Subject: Tidbit - Sample Y2K Evangelism

Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better

This tidbit is from:

Matthew Whyte

I work for a seminar management company, and I'm pleased to be able to 
say that we are completely Mac-based (apart from the accounts dept who 
are off-site so they don't really count). I have 40+ Macs and *no* PCs, 
it's just fantastic.

Anyway, as the IT guy here, I'm having to deal with a stream of letters 
from customers who are concerned about Y2K issues, and are auditing all 
their suppliers regarding this. Although somewhat tedious, this is a good 
opportunity for some evangelising. I send them all back a standard 
letter, containing something along these lines:

"All systems in the company run on Apple Macintosh computers. The 
Macintosh OS is and always has been inherently Y2K compliant, and almost 
all software, including ours, uses the Mac OS's internal date storage 
system."

Maybe some other evangelistas can employ this tactic if faced with 
similar requests?
