and not a moment too soon
here in kyoto, the stores that used to carry lots of apple gear changing over to windows. i suspect that know that apple is moving in on them big time. kyoto couldn't support an apple store, so we will be rather screwed.
steve, all your shot in the foot are belong to your customers.
