Title: Cold War — Total recall — iPhone 4 shortage
Body: BREV TIL STEVE: Hi Steve, Being 43 years of age I have lived through the cold war watching Reagan and Gorbatjov work things our in regards to getting the number of nuclear warheads reduced drastically. I watched the Berlin wall fall, and before that wathed East Germans flee to the West. I also heard all the stories about, how East block citizens had to wait years, after ordering af new Lada. (thats a car). Never in my life had I expected to write you an email to ask whether we have returned to this age; in the Western World that is. Let me put things straight first. I love Apple and I have tried every day for the last 22 years to convince everyone else in Denmark, that Apple is what people need, to be better at what they do. I will contiunue to do so, although it seems lately that you do not want to share your success with the people who made this happen for you at a grass root level. That's is however a completely different issue, one which we will have to address at a later time. Today I have applied... let me say that again... applied for permission to buy 6 iPhone 4's 16Gb, 3 of them before Christmas. I can only buy 2 at the store, so what is a man to do. I applied. I even told the joke about the Lada to Jhonnie. Now it's not even funny. I know we live in Echelon times, and I sure my email will be picked up and looked at closely considering the words I have used. I just can't help going down memory lane hearing the words "... And you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984. " I was there January 22, 1984. I watched SuperBowl XVIII in a basement in Lewisburg, West Virginia. I sat back in amazement during commercial break after 3rd quarter. I believed. We live in 2010. What happened? Here is a copy of some correspondance with your company representatives here in Denmark. Thats ok, I knew I should have lied. I'll give Steve a shout. __________________ Thomas K.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to sell you iPhones if they are for resale/promotions/corporate gifting. I asked my manager if I could still go ahead but he came back now with a negative decision on your application. My apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thank you!

I would have gone through normal channels, but you are the only ones selling iPhones without having to sign up with a mobile phone company as well.
