20% of Unibears survey respondents use Macintoshes

   Some of you may recall that Greg Merritt surveyed MAGNet'ters in
2003 regarding the use of Macintoshes in administrative roles on
campus, and followed up with a request for updates a couple of months
ago, below.

   As one interesting data point, recently IST-CNS received
approximately 900 voluntary responses to an online Unibears voice
mail survey:

   http://unibears.berkeley.edu/vmsurvey-results.html

   One question asked campus staff who responded to this survey -
which included staff in academic and other roles, as well as in
administrative roles - what type of workstation they used at work;
here was the result:

>What workstation do you primarily use at work?
> # Answer Frequency Percentage
> 1 Windows PC 670 73.87%
> 2 Macintosh 199 21.94%
> 3 Linux/Unix variant 31 3.42%
> 4 Other 1 0.11%
> 5 No response 6 0.66%
>
> Total 907 100%

Subject: [MAGNet] Macs for administrative work on campus
Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 16:00:08 -0800
Magnetters,
	Last year, my department, which uses Macs exclusively for core 
administrative staff, wanted to get a sense of the use of Macs in 
administrative roles here on campus.  Many of you were very helpful 
with identifying departments and offices that use Macs for admin, and 
I was able to put together an informal list:
http://traffic.its.berkeley.edu/administrative_macs.html
	My department has posed the question again, and I'm curious to 
know if there are any big changes to the list I collected last year. 
If folks are willing to chime in, I would be pleased to update this 
list.
	Also, if folks are interested, I put together a list of links and 
screenshot snippets that describe Mac compatibility and/or operating 
system & browser requirements for a number of centralized campus 
information resources (BETS, BAIRS, Travel, CalAgenda, etc.).  I was 
collecting it for my own use, but realized that it might be useful to 
others:

If I have missed any important resources, please let me know so that 
I can track down the requirements and add them to the list.
Thanks!
