Grandma may still have a heart attack, but it's more likely going to come from eating fried catfish or yelling at Vana White then pricing out RAM. Most likely, the machine she'd buy today would remain unchanged for years. I doubt she'd even hear about RAM as long as she can get to Yahoo! Games and Amazon.
As for my Grandma, well.. I'd help her out.
I can understand being worried about children, but worried about Asian women? Give me a break.
Obviously, you've never seen them drive. Or even worse, parallel park.
>>No out of the box remote management capability
Actually, it's right under your nose. System Prefs -> Sharing -> Services. >>no thought to hardware maintenance
Included with each purchase is an AHT, a bootable disc to run automated diagnostics, aka Apple Hardware Test. >>you're supposed to go to an Apple store to get that maintenance done?
Well you could go to one of the 160+ Apple Retail stores, order certain parts online, or get work done (in and out of warranty) at one of the numerous Authorized Service Providers. >>I know that there are people in Apple defending the lack of remote management capability as a security feature
Again, if you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know that the service is included (see refutation #1) but shockingly OFF until you need it. Just click "start". >>they're a remarkably stubborn company (witness the one-mouse-button...)
Oh, damn, now I see you're trolling (or just horribly misinformed). See here for a brief overview explaining why you're wrong and just mindless repeating FUD.
I'll leave it to someone else with more patience to deal with the faulty logic of your parenthetical coda.
