Let's take a glance at the headers of

<http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/fr_salespolicies.html> :

<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

Those loonies use Microsoft Word to compose their own pages and they
can't figure out it doesn't respect any standard, except
Microsoft's... well I suppose. Can you believe this? How lame can
Apple get?

Let's not. I have no idea why you enjoy spending your time on stuff
like this. You don't like Apple. Fine, you don't have to. There are
lots of things in this world I don't like, but you don't know about them
because I don't spend any time telling you. So, why do people like you
want to be people like you?

At least it seems to be the official provincial sport.

How lame can *you* get?

Are you always in the habit of sending the same message to the same
news group twice?

Go back to comp.sys.mac.advocacy where you belong, child.

It's obvious he has nothing more interesting in his life. That's pretty sad...

It makes perfect sense to me. This is a policies page - that smacks of
a legal department.

2 + 2 does equal 4. ; )

I don't like M&Ms, yeah, that's for Apple Morons. Here's why.

When M&Ms get stirred by hype such as calling directories "Events",
they send too much money to Stevie. Bright as you are Rosie, you'll
ask what's wrong with that.

What's wrong with that is that every CEO then considers that if a bit
billionnaire moron such as Job earns $700 millions a year, they must
be worth as least $100 million. You know, they might want to have a
nice shoe collection like Imelda Marcos too!

What's wront with that, you'll ask again. Well, of course, investors
don't want to be left out. Whatever the company they're in, they want
higher margins, otherwise they'd all invest in the bit industry.

And how do you clear higher margins when it comes to other business
than putting bits on a CD? By switching all production to China with
wages at 17¢ an hour and selling in America. Even Chrysler's at it now.

That's how you see devastated industrial suburbs appear all over the
place and money being make by a few with speculation. And since, with
politicians like Bush, speculators pay little income tax, the health
and school systems are underfunded.

As for the war in Irak, it's the Chinese who are subsidizing it. Until
now, they've bought $600 billions in tresury bonds. They also have 400
billions in private investments. At least. They invest in companies
investing in China, and in natural ressources companies, of course.
There are lots of natural ressources in Canada, isn't it? They're
hungry for it.

That's how all the knowledge is fastly switching to Asia and we're
becoming third world nations providing natural ressources to
industrial nations.

So when Jobs is adding to disinformation and ignorance by calling
subdirectories "Events", I believe it's more than time to quick some
M&M asses. Whether they fly under the Apple or Microsoft banner,
idiots fund "businessmen who drink my wine".

It's nothing new. It was exactly the same under Rome's decadence.
Communist Chinese weren't so much interested in money. They could see
beyond and learned their lesson well on how to wage war. And American
billionnaires are so happy destroying their country at this war. Man,
they're making heaps of money. But I'm afraid Christ was a good
economist: in the end, money is nothing.

Poor bunch of empty headed M&Ms going for their cheap... so expensive fun!

I'm in Saskatchewan. I didn't say "monopoly", I said "market".

I simply replied and didn't bother to trim the extra group.

Why are you defending a troll? Are you related?
