"$107.7 million since 1998" --that's peanuts to Apple, right? It may be more to the state of California or local municipalities who would be getting the money

"$107.7 million since 1998" --that's peanuts to Apple, right?
It may be more to the state of California or local municipalities who would be getting the money (actually 107/35% == 305 million... still over 25 years though!).
But if Apple ends up getting dinged over this, they're really going to feel like they made a mistake, this was not much benefit to be worth even bad press.
Maybe the Apple of 1998 was hungrier, and it just stayed there.
Or are those numbers wrong? Does that number seem low for 35% of the entire CA sales tax owed by Apple over 25 years?
