I just assumed they were referring to the United States when they said third
world.  Highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized country in the
world, highest number of gun deaths per year (approx 12,000), no national
health insurance..only industrialized country like this...behind Europe and
the rest of the world on cell phones, you can get an 8 MB DSL line in
France, but not in the US, etc. etc.    :)   Sorry ... Just had to mention
that in response to such a remark.

Now back to PowerBooks and such.
