Anyone seen the BBC series 'Spooks'? Drama about the UK's domestic intelligence service MI5. All the spooks seem to have G4 iMacs on their desk, deplying Powerbooks when huddled in the back of a white van on operations!

Now I know it's just TV, but is it likely that intelligence services would favour Macs in real life too? What with all the security flaws and vulnerabilities that afflict the Windows OS...

The U.S. Army uses Mac servers. I think that is cool. But we Marines are to poor to afford such great gear. We get there old garbage that they don't want any more!
Bless those that sacrifice for us all.
