Gabby I can assure you Heineken is i n full swing and growing and adapting to the muslim market (they are less than 10 km away from me) as for apple and vaio I see more vaio than apple, which leaves me wondering other than phones and pads what are they marketing and where..I wonder if apple even has 5% of the market.. I think there is a lot of that funny smelling stuff that comes out of the rump of bull. Allan
