"Apples" and Burma (r)



from euro-burmanet, paris
i wish people would show more respect for one and other, the apple 
machine is not invincible, neither their corporate strategy for doing 
business in burma which we thoroughly protest here. we had a quadra, 840 
, still do, and everything in it, graphics and whatever, has blown and 
gone bad, take it from us, and our unix people, apple, like our pachine, 
is a dying company, they have already lost 4 billion market dollars this 
year, invest in pcs not apples
