I think annouk's point isn't so much that they can't purchase one, but that it's the principle of the issue. I agree with Scott, that these are the potential pitfalls of having someone else decide what technology you get to have, and I'm also glad I get to make my own choices. That said, to force governments--or anyone else to buy their product by claiming that the Mac is not a viable option is really playing dirty. It'd serve them right if Apple sued them for making false claoms or some such. Donna On Nov 28, 2009, at 9:46 PM, Rich Ring wrote:
