He should just sue Apple for not returning his property and exposing him to identity theft. The judge will make the decision and all of this silly commenting on Slashdot will become a gigantic moot point. Right...?
Sorry, but your government sold you out a long time ago when they entered into franchise agreements with the telcos. Typical agreements have service level agreements (SLA) don't say much about customer satisfaction or fairness. However they do typically include revenue sharing for the municipality.
The only real way to have a say with telcos is for you, and 10,000 of your neighbors, to complain to local government and cancel (or at least threaten to cancel) your service. That is if you actually have a viable competitor you can switch to.
So, the government should need no reason to reach for US manufactored goods and prefering them over foreign ones. For the simple sake of national commerce.
Guess you decided to skip that week in economics 101 when your prof showed how well government intervention in the marketplace works.
Finally someone not at Virginia Tech who can justify buying a maxed out Dual 2 Ghz PowerMac G5; patiently waiting for the new 300" Cinema Display from Apple.
I started college with color-coded handwritten notes in course-specific color-coded spiral noteboooks (anal, huh?). Then my Palm Vx w/ Stowaway keyboard saved my ass when I had to write a paper and the lab was full and my desktop was 25 miles away. Now halfway through my grad program I switched to a 15" TiBook and haven't looked back. Sure battery life's gonna suck after a while (but I'm starting at 4 hrs. w/ Wi-Fi) and you gotta watch out for it "growing legs" but it's worth it.

Don't forget, no S-Video output means no more PowerBook (err, MacBook) movie night on the tv (strange indeed)

Anyone who thinks $1.58 is a good deal for a pre-alpha Microsoft OS deserves that "experience"
99.6% off sounds like a deal to me.
