EU to Ban Macs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bite-out-of-the-apple dept.

johnalex writes "Digit Online News is reporting that 'The European Union has revealed it is to ban the sale and use of Apple Macintosh computers by 2006 - citing the need for unification in a directive unveiled today.' Reasons for the ban include that 'Apple's lack of floppy disk drive is discriminatory to EU residents, and that the Apple logo doesn't hail from the apple-growing regions of Southern France.'"

    The EU should ban Apple fanbois.

    Of course, they'd all move to the U.S. and Iraq, so maybe that's not much of a solution. But still, Apple Computer is fine. The Fanboys should all have their feeding tubes removed
