    Apple-Hungary
    Apple doesn't do direct sales in Hungary. You have to buy from one of their distributors, which they list.

  2. Leave parent exactly where it is. by Crash+Culligan · · Score: 1 · on Restrictive Sales Practices on the Web?
    Along the same vein as the parent, there's Apple Hungary, which admittedly appears to lag a bit behind the home office.

    Open the two together and note the differences in typeface. And why is there no mention of Jaguar/Panther/Anything 10.x.x on the Hungary site?

    The multinationalization efforts are easy enough to spot on the Dell Hungary page too. And the difficulties in translation too -- some portions are still in English.

    I can see here where the differences in companies' national sites would drive people to use the one with more information and choices.

  5. Apple Store in Hungary by kongjie · · Score: 1 · on Restrictive Sales Practices on the Web?

    Won't they sell you anything? I can't read Hungarian so I can't tell.

    As far as everyone else is concerned, when there is enough profit in selling to people like you (people from Maine living in Hungary who want products from American online stores), it will happen. WWW is just a name; on-line stores have no obligation to be global. It's frustrating (I lived for a year in China and understand what it's like not to be able to get very simple things that make your life a lot easier but for some reason can't be found), but it's going to be a matter of some more time.
