	FYI$@!"(Jthe last time I checked, Japanese MacDonald doesn't serve
quarter pounder. A few years ago, I asked for a quarter pounder at a
counter and the girl looked me in a funny way, and eventually, the
local manager came along and explained to me it is not available, and
sure enough, it is not on the menu. What irks me sometimes is that
many MacDonald doesn't carry hot apple pie, either. (But I digress.)
