The funny thing is that's the complete opposite to what Apple retail employees are taught. Sell what the customer needs; nothing more, nothing less

I'd say that just highlights Apple's 0th law, that one thing only they seem to get: form is function, what you want is what you need. If it doesn't do what you want, it's insufficient for your needs. Conversely, if it does more than you need, you don't really want it, you just think you do.

This is so true. While i'd love to have a new 27" IMac I just can't justify getting rid of my 3GHz 2008 since it still works so well. It's like I just took it out of the box.
