Somebody may be surprised, why EUnet made the contract with MacDonald and
not with some European firm. But the reason is very well understandable
and practical. The next step in the McEUnet services will be food
shipment to any Internet user. And only hamburger is so well industrially
designed, to be easily transferred by IP-tunneling and reproduced by
traditional output devices, such as dot printer, laser printer or
card puncher.
