(I fear that, while negotiating.. I may become snide, short of overtly rude?)--even knowing that Apple also stiffs their employees in these Candy Stores, only a small-degree differently from Wal-Kochmart, Inc. Rationale.. well, maybe they do pass on the scuttlebutt/when asked by Suits (?)
Apple has yet to realize the Ans. to the Q: Who does not despise the corporate-Smug in all its forms?

I fervently hope that this Buy Our Overpriced Mem/HD on Day1 or Fuck Off truly becomes next, Apple's first public meeja-covered Revolt. I wish this selfishly too, of course: maybe from the fallout, I can replace my fine almost-upgradeable giant laptop, later. Fuck Windows 10; I'm hooked on Just-Works. Even if the bile may rise progressively. (It would be worse with anything from Redmond; one of my 3 near-Certainties.)

(No point in burdening P. with much of this back-story; let her enjoy spending this windfall in full Unicorn mode, I say.)
