Survey: Apple technology found in half of all American homes On The VAR Guy, Dave Courbanou puts the results in context. “You’re wondering — how the heck does that loop back around to the channel?

In itself that is actually almost worthless, since if they renege then your legal position is not likely to get you more than the notice period they would have to pay if they fired you on your first day – and even that is far from guaranteed,” he writes.
