Not to end yet -- that is very interesting, and certainly an interesting
burst of activity in Europe. Apple's done a good job to discourage sales in
Japan in recent years, from canceling Tokyo Mac Expo around Apple Japan to
canning the president of Apple Japan.

Supporting the Mac is a differentiator for Valentina, but Id never bet the
farm on being a Mac only solution, especially with a forthcoming server
solution.
