A couple of days ago I saw an item on the BBC News about the Soviets opening
up photo-copying shops where people can (surprise surprise) copy things.
 There are some things that they are not allowed to copy by the way.  Anyhow,
while watching this article I noticed that said photocopying shop contained
some Macs as well!!  There were Mac pluses, but even so I was quite surprised
to see them there!
