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.'"

    It is amazing how much people are bitching about how the April Fools joke entries are a waste of time/space/money/etc. But what is funny/ironic is that these people are wasting even more time to post and bitch about it.

    Just get over it already.
