A former roommate of mine's mother worked pretty hight up at Coke. Her contract precluded her from drinking or purchasing Pepsi. She couldn't even have it in her house. Does you dad have some type of contract like this?
Got a tip for us?

What you need to do, like others have suggested, is if you have an Intel Mac, get Boot Camp or VMWare Fusion or Parallels and have it emulated and show your dad that the Mac can be a PC.
If you have a PPC Mac, get Virtual PC
rolleyes: ) or VNC and have it connect to your dad's PC and say, look! WINDOWS ON A MAC!!!
If he still doesn't like you, buy a bunch of his favorite iTunes songs he doesn't have and tell him to listen to them and transfer them to his Zune.

As I've said before, Brand loyalty should only go so far....
I've tried the new WMP 11, and it SUCKS! The way it organizes your music... I downgraded to 9 right away. (Maybe it's just because I was running it on 98, but still..)

The company you work for telling you what you can and can't do in your private life.
Words Off and Funk spring to mind.
Hey, when you are high up in a large, well-known company I think it sort of makes sense. Plus, no one forced her to sign the contract.
My mother also works for Coke, and this extends pretty far. Since restaurants like Pizza Hut are owned by the same parent company, they aren't supposed to eat there if they are wearing any kind of Coke ID, or go there for any group functions. Even if all they order is water to drink. Pretty nuts, to me.
