Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Macs

Found in the user booklet for a new Macbook we got for testing:

"High-risk activities.

This computer system is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear

facilities, aircraft navigation or  communications systems, air traffic 
control systems, or for any other uses where the failure of the computer

system could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental 
damage."

Well.  I always suspected the Mac was weak.

I'd only _ever_ use WinXP to operate a nuclear facility.
