I have a new iBook. I could take that iBook with me to Afganistan. I 
could not find parts or a full replacement unit in Afganistan. I 
could not make those parts there either. I could take my 1941 Lithgow 
Enfield Rifle there and get a local with some simple machine tools to 
make a new trigger spring or turn out a new firing pin. Thats the 
difference.
