This seems to effectively muddy the waters such that they can steadily raise the price without a ground truth for comparison. We learn to ignore the MSRP but each promotion becomes apples to oranges, and over time they're nudging thing

How do you figure? We're talking about the structure of a home, not a modular component of one. A 3d printed car frame would be impractical to replace, let alone the side of a house.

I also put an SSD in my 2009 MBP - in 2011! It was $500 for a 256gb drive and it was worth every penny. Even though that drive is slow and expensive by today's standards, I don't know if it ever really bottlenecked the system. The

It was kind of the sunset for PowerPC, so for many it was the end of an era, and most likely what any preserved Powerbooks are running. I have a 12 inch Powerbook G4 on my bookshelf with Snow Leopard. edit: I must have misremembered as I&#x

When they went on fire-sale I thought it might be useful for having two games available to run on the console at once. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on that.
