Apple does too over charge. They intentionally made compact Macs hard to
open with that nearly impossible long torx driver, so you would have to
take it to an Apple dealer even to install memory. To buy that stupid

Just my two bits.

the fruity things on Apple II products for those of use who feel
especially malevolent towards our favorite computer company. :)
