    Apple have stolen my wallet!

    Or rather, have emptied already this month!

    I just bought a lovely shiny new MBP, a 1 TB Time Capsule and a dongle to connect said MBP to a VGA projector and now they want another $29 to upgrade my shiny new MBP to a shiny new MBP?

    Pah!

    They'll have to wait until I get paid coz I'm already skint!

    Paris, because (allegedly) she's been shafted as many times as me.

    Awaiting the review, but I'm sure I will be buying it.

    Slimmer, lighter, trimmer is what all new versions should be.

    I bought my MacBook in America a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was eligible for the upgrade here in Britian.
