Indeed, the lowest form of wit, well done to you sir. Bet you're very proud of yourself. And maybe you consider this an inappropriate place for said rant, but it is valid to me. I am not going to get a piece of kit, be it iPhone, iMac, iWhatever if it doesn't come in my local language. So if I need a mac to get the most out of iTunes, and I can't get a mac in my local tongue, then I am not going to get a mac am I? In which case the benefit of the iPhone (iTunes) is negated, thus making it an overpriced paperweight as far as I am concerned. Which was the point I so miserably failed to make earlier... but that's what typing on a hangover does. And please don't go on about this being an American product - if Apple didn't want to flog Poles computers they wouldn't have a Polish website (iTunes redirects to the UK before you ask) and Apple stores in Warsaw, would they?
I agree. Macs suck. In need of a new PC I went to a mac store in Warsaw yesterday to check them out. The sales assistant informed me that as yet there is no localisation hence no Polish language kit. Yes, a mac store in POLAND selling computers that aren't available in POLISH. That's good marketing. Anyway, I asked him when this "feature" is going to appear and was told "probably in the next OS, which I think is due in November, though I am not sure"... it just gets better. Still, undaunted the mac salesman proceeded to ask me about the system I currently use. When I told him Linux he proceeded to show me that macs too have a terminal. Wow.
Basically I can get a computer that costs twice the going rate with no localisation and its best feature is the terminal, the one thing mac fanboys winge most about when you mention Linux...
