"Half the industry uses Mac. So the Mac compatibility (multi-platform) is desired."

I was surprised, I'd rather say shocked, when I heard the requirement from the client.

I'm currently working on a project called "Theatre Script Online Database" as a Project Manager.

Its main purpose is to distribute acting script to the actresses and actors through the Internet, saving costs of copying and papers.

Back in Korea, I guess more than 95% of the people, who are not in the computer industry, use PCs.

They also use only Microsoft Internet Explorer as their primary web browser, which makes me, as a web developer, never need to care about any other platform when I work, even though I built everything to the web standards.

The world is big, the situation over in America is little bit different.

SAL Computer Lab, in Salvatori Computer Science Center, is filled with half PCs, another half Macs, and few Solaris machines.

It's not like one platform has monopoly, but competes each other.

We, the project team, finally decided to make it web-based, compatible to all the major browsers.


My friends in Korea, be open and get out of the jail of Microsoft.
