    • Uchikoma, on 03/31/2008, -0/+2Replacing staff, we have filters and automessages. Not as effective, but cheaper than paying staff to sift through your mail.

      ...and why is this in Apple? This is like the second article where I've seen a topic clearly not related to Apple, or technology in the Apple section...
  • SmellyFingers, on 03/31/2008, -2/+1Ol' tricky Abe!
  • DigDugDigger, on 03/31/2008, -2/+2Do want. O_O
  • Harboggles, on 03/31/2008, -2/+3I wish I had the money to purchase these. No matter what the document is, they are unique and a serious part of United States History.
  • Ethion, on 03/31/2008, -3/+15What does this has to do with Apple...?
  • fxu1989, on 03/31/2008, -5/+2This comment is not available in your country.
  • fearlessfx, on 03/31/2008, -1/+5I wouldn't mind purchasing some whitehouse emails, too bad they are so often destroyed by accident.
  • GnKnight1, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8Buried for Wrong Topic.
  • toxicityj, on 03/31/2008, -5/+2it's in apple, because there's tons of apple fanboys that will digg anything listed under apple. It's a semi-clever way of getting to the frontpage.
  • XZanatos, on 04/01/2008, -0/+1For the love of something supernatural! Please let all the content of these documents allready be copied and preserved for historical purposes! When George Washington's documents were up for sale (1800s sometime) some ass wipe decided to burn them all because he didn't want people to know the truth and preferred the fairytales people were telling about him. Or so my history teacher told the class one day.
