It looks like we will probably have to wait until World AIDS Day on Monday.
How Ebenezer Scrooge of them!
And not showing up in Canada either. Oh well, more profits, good for my apple stock.
Well, I'm getting bored with this. So I had one look around to look for deals with today being an incentive. Since I saw no attractive BF deal in my area, the bucks will stay in the bank, and I ordered some fine Single Malt Whisky ... That saves a lot of time, and the day as well :)
Not very meaningful on a Mac site, I know ...
