This and the ads urging people to ensure that they have a "Genuine 
Microsoft hologram" sticker on their new PC sickens me very deeply.

Australians are very quick at adapting to new technologies, we have 10 
year olds running around with mobile phones, primary schools have mobile 
phone policys. Per head Australia is the most voracious consumer of 
technology there is, America is the largest simply because there are 
more of them.
