Ahhh...the Myth that an Apple is somehow easier to set up than a PC. If you believe that I have a slightly used bridge in Sydney I can sell you....

Bananas...
Awwww, sad what you folks in the Old Country go through! I've had bananas all my life. Mashed bananas are basic baby food here. And banana smoothies, yum!!!
We grow them, you know
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

According to several reports Iceland has the highest production of bananas in Europe. Actually I think that used to be the case as Spain grows quite a few nowadays, but a few years ago....
