1. I love that comic strip.

Supposedly Obama may be the first American President to have a computer on his desk.

God, I hope it's a Mac.

If they are really worried about security, it's got to be a Mac!

3. It just may be a Mac Administration!

In what could be a sign of things to come, Biden's son Hunter was pictured on Election Night showing Vice President-Elect Joe Biden something on a MacBook Air. Biden also appears to be holding an iPhone 3G with a sticker on the back.

Biden was apparently observing something on screen, while President-Elect Barack Obama celebrated in the background with another staffer. The MacBook Air appeared to be connected to a USB 3G network adapter.

The Obama administration could become the most technologically-savvy presidency so far. The President-Elect's transition team has already put up change.gov, a website developed by Blue State Digital, the same firm that created Obama's campaign website. Obama's administration promises to be the first to include a Chief Technology Officer, and he supports net neutrality.

Obama has been photographed during his campaign using an iPhone. A Newsweek article in Feburary noted that Michelle Obama bought then-Senator Obama and their children each a MacBook, so they could stay in touch during the long campaign.

5. Doesn't matter what it is.
REAL security is provided by companies like Juniper, RSA and IBM ISS.

Uh - I should mention that my company provides these items to the federal government. I'll be the first person, btw, to know what they're ordering. :P

6. If you were really worried about security it should be a linux
variant. Macs have proven to be the quickest machines to hack, however as a result of market share, fewer hacks are about.

Of course this will set off a geek war about properly maintained operating systems.
