From the recycling article regarding the US and reprocessing. "In October 1976, fear of nuclear weapons proliferation (especially after India demonstrated nuclear weapons capabilities using reprocessing technology) led President Gerald Ford to issue a Presidential directive to indefinitely suspend the commercial reprocessing and recycling of plutonium in the U.S. This was confirmed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. After that, only countries that already had large investments in reprocessing infrastructure continued to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. President Reagan lifted the ban in 1981, but did not provide the substantial subsidy that would have been necessary to start up commercial reprocessing."

This is also similar to the 'Linux' guys who want to 'fool around at home' with Ubuntu etc. on a Pentium 2 with 128MB of ram and 20Gig hard drive - and then call it slow, no drivers, hard to configure, etc. Ah well reason and realism seem to go out the window when people 'try' a new operating system of any flavor.

Apparently you've never supported the Palm Pilot mX Magical Pony Edition or you would not be saying such things. Of the few POS that are still in service where I am employed - our team spends at least 6 hours a week supporting palms for their issues. Users love them for their calendaring and contact lists and don't want to give them up for that. Blackberry just doesn't have it yet when it comes to that in the users eyes. Apparently losing data, duping data, not synching every other day, bursting into flames, and killing babies to a dark lord are all things they can live with in order to use those two functions.

What really matters is that there is no 'pistol whip' tag to explain this. As in: The ISO just got a pistol whip from IBM.
