Answer 5_1_5

Question 5  A company has one department that has a network of old Macs, while another department has a new network of PCs.  What problems can this cause?  How can this be reduced?

Problems:

• Data files may well not be read properly between the different platforms.
• Software on one system will not work on the other system.
• The hardware is incompatible.

These problems can be reduced by use of emulation software, although this can reduce the functionality of the systems.

A better solution would be to replace the old Mac with a modern system with upto date software.
