No one is forced to use Apple machines; everyone has the right to refuse
to use Apple machines.
Remember, this is a *boycott*.
One should:
1. Refuse to use any Apple machine. This may require changing positions
to a different group, department, or company.
2. Argue vociferously against the purchase of Apple equipment.
3. Encourage others to join the boycott.
I understand that you may prefer something else. It is your choice
whether to join the boycott, and how far you are willing to go. The
further the boycott is carried, the more effective it will be.
Enjoy,
