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 real problem is that the slashdot editors have absolutely no sense or ability to coordinate articles. So what happens on a day like to today is that every slashdot editor and his mother, and possibly his aunt Maggy in the trailer park in NC as well, thinks he'll post a couple of April 1st joke articles for a lark.

    The result is the utter chaos and even a good round of the usual duping that make slashdot so unique.
