We, the loyal international users of hardware and software produced by Apple Computer Inc. are dismayed by the U.S. centric view of the Management of the aforementioned corporation.

U.S. only features such as iPhoto's hardback album ordering system and various sections of Sherlock 3 are not available should the customer live in a country other than the United States.

The recent announcement of iTunes 4 and the accompanying music service was met with great excitement by the international Macintosh community, but yet again we were let down as the ability to buy music from countries other than the U.S. is not available, and it is not clear whether this will ever be the case.

We pay the same figures for our Apple hardware and accompanying software as United States citizens, but the software feature set is becoming increasingly frustratingly crippled for us.

We demand that Apple Computer Inc. take a much more serious stance on supporting the 50\% of their customers who abide in countries other than the United States.

    • while i agree that it is a bummer how i in Canada can't get this music, i honestly dont think Apple owes me anything. I got what i payed for - a fully functioning Powerbook, and my purchase was not based on the prospect of the online music service. what the heck, tho i'll sign anyway

    • A company like Apple should easily be able to make the deals needed to make these international services. The longer they wait, the more disgruntled the Mac faithful and the more money they lose.

    • We are paying just as much for the software as the US people do. Why shouldn't we be able to enjoy it as much as well?

    • I live in Canada, which is very close to the US, but we have none of the benefits of this association, as none of the promotions, special features etc. are avaiable to us. We pay as much as the American consumer for Apple prodcuts (more, actually because of our weak dollar). We should get equal service.
