Surprising Apple hasn’t been sued because someone couldn’t find any apples in the computer……

This is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film, “The Never-Ending Story”.

It doesn’t function as a book-cum-bug-squasher, either. At least, not more than once. I’ve yet to determine its quality as book-cum-doorstop.

No problem Jonathan; hadn’t quite thought of that one! :-)

@John – It’s pretty thin for a doorstop.
