Further evidence

My Macbook has only 512MB RAM and I thought of upgrading it to 1GB. Went to the Apple shop today to enquire about how much a piece of 512MB RAM costs and was flabbergasted to find out from talking to their salesperson that my Macbook comes default with 2 pieces of 256MB RAM. What's the problem some of you may be wondering? Well, the Macbook has only two memory slots... meaning that I have to fork out S$258 for two pieces of 512MB RAM!!! WTF!!! That's ridiculous because I felt that the laptop should have come with a single piece of 512MB RAM. They are forcing customers to either buy two pieces of 512MB RAM or a single 1GB RAM. I'm more convinced than ever that they are out to scam us consumers!!!
