I couldn't care less about the US government. Is just the fact that if 
the PC is done in any of the associated countries, they are not allowed 
to distribute to those countrys. In other words, MIT, Intel, AMD or 
whoever OEM that is actually part of the US would never be allowed to 
ship to Cuba. Never. It would have to be all done by some Japan company 
or so.
