Someone wrote earlier how they had written in English and how simple the file was named. Remember their internet addresses??? All refering to the bombing of the WTC?? It was so "in your face".

Well, the keyboards are in English (i.e., English characters). What are they supposed to do? Now, the Mactinosh computers have foreign language characters and the operating system which is quite sophisticated to accommodate foreign language characters and even a good word processor (something other than Word) which can accommodate writing from right to left, even.

But, then again, the terrorists were probably too stupid to know that a Macintosh computer would accommodate their language quite well, better than any other operating system (as it does all sorts of languages across the world, it's "built-in" to the operating system quite well).

However, we don't want the terrorists to get too smart and get a good computer operating system like a Macintosh -- so keep it under your hat. :) :)

I like my Macintosh. Keep it away from those Muslims.

In regards to those "Internet addresses" -- that sounds more like a hoax message than anything else. I saw someone else (here on Free Republic) list who had registered them and on what dates. It looked like a bunch of wackos trying to register it after the fact (weird people, taking advantage of the situation and trying to sell the Internet domains after the tragedy).

It doesn't really appear to me that terrorists were really going to set up a web site and post something to the world after the fact. I mean -- really -- how long would it stay up as soon as the authorities knew it? It's just too stupid when you can send out a videotape -- like Osama bin Laden does now -- to all the news agencies and they'll run it for you -- free.

Back to the computer.... get an iMac..., they're great.
