Tivo Exec Goes Mac

Over at the Unofficial Apple Weblog we read that Mike Ramsey switched to using a powerbook. Of course, one thing always leads to another and pretty soon everyone will want one. Or at least that is the conventional wisdom since there are supposedly rumblings in IT about moving to macs. I'd buy that for a dollar. Alas the CW in this cased is based on a bogus assumption.

This is good for Apple, because if the big man in a company wants something, he gets it, even if his corporate IT department usually won’t support Macs. How soon before other top execs who just want to get work done wise up and buy an Apple? (*emphasis* mine)

"Top Execs" belong to the cool kids club. They need to look cool but they can't really wear an iPod Shuffle into a meeting, hence the powerbook. Oh I'm sure his complaints about Windows were for real but this isn't about "getting work done." Trust me.
