Hello Toy,

Oh come on now ... you guys are practically US Citizens ... and we really are one big global family ... and the US Government is *always* looking out for the best for it's citizens, why not look after the neighbors citizens also? And you don't have anything to hide ... right? ;-)

I guess that you could convert all the machines to that Canadian OS that only allows the Canadian government in ... ;-)

If they decide to impose such restrictions, I guess that all non-US countries could ... well ... uh ... shut down their countries until SP6 comes out? ;-)

I don't get it ... what difference does it make whether it's your government or ours? You don't have anything to hide ... ;-)

It *is* a pretty good reason to go to Linux ...
