MAC versus PC

Hello - We just joined the Tessitura Network and I have a question regarding the use of Macs vs. PCs with Tessitura. We are about to replace all of our desk top units and we are considering replacing our PCs with the Mac Mini. I understand the we will need to purchase and install the Windows parallel software and we will be using Tessitura v.11.

Does anyone have a point of view or a suggestion before we make this purchase. We will be purchasing about 12 new desktops in the next two weeks.

Thank you - David

  • Hi all,

     

    If you connect the BOCA printers to the network via Ethernet (assuming you have that option installed) rather than locally via USB, then Windows emulation on the Mac can talk to them via the network in the same way a physical Windows client would. I think that approach would be more reliable and less troublesome overall than messing with USB emulation or some other similar approach.
