Can this really be true? Surely the national outposts of Apple are *obliged* 
to take the whole product line. I suggest that you phone Apple Computer Europe 
(in Paris, (33-1) 47.75.12.18) and speak to Richard Kefs (A/UX Marketing 
Manager) about how Apple expect to sell A/UX in Sweden if no one is actually 
supporting it...

No. Apple Sweden feels that they do not have knowledge/resources enough
to support such a small market as A/UX commercially - therefore, they
don't sell A/UX. Things may change, though, they are starting to offer
sake and support for universities - if this goes well, the market may
expand.
