I think that may be the big culprit with not wanting to ship computers internationally. Other countries don't have our same copyright laws and I heard a rumor that some middle eastern countries don't like encryption protocols.

I know for laptops it's probably not an issue, but power adapting/converting could be a headache. I wouldn't want to deal with buying a nice TV and shipping it somewhere that is 240 instead of 110. Plus NTSC/PAL stuff.
