Isn't Bauhaus completely round? I don't think the "2" would have a sharp corner like that one shown. Otherwise really close though.

Same thing here but fortunately my Manager is a Mac fan as is our departments contact within IT purchasing.

There have been some hick-ups in terms of accessing all the different levels within the shitbox SAP system that they use here, but for the most part I can do what I need to on the PC side by running Parallels.

Very helpful guys, thanks!

I always try the WTF? search, but this time it claims the font in question is "Orator" and it is wrong.

There are 3 G5s in our department, there are two designers and an art director. The entire building are all Dell clones otherwise. We got new machines right before the Intel transition, so no boot camp and virtual PC is dumb.

Our tech department doesn't really care that we are independent. We can get on the PC network too, no biggie, but they cannot access any of our data. But that's why we have an FTP, and it all works.
