won't hear a peep from me.
So much for the zip drive unless they give you an external. I would have made an argument for them giving me the top line. I wouldn't have been harsh about it simply analytical and friendly.
Something for alot of something, good deal
Would someone remind me of how much a DP1000 is and then tell me why he should have pushed for more. Then tell me how much his DP500 will sell for now. Finally tell me how much faster it will be than his DP500.
Anyway, its better than if they gave you a refurbished DP500.

I don't know how the laws pertain to electronic devices such as this. With motorcycles the lemon laws basically say they either replace it with the a new bike of the same model. If that model/version is not being made anymore the newer model/version that is currently being sold.
In other words if he bought the high end model out of three versions he would be replaced by the high end model. Refurbished units are not considered new and would not be fair trade unless the customer accepted it in an offer. Model 1 will always be replaced by modle 1.x and model 2 will always be replaced by model 2.x. It has nothing to do with cost.
It really has nothing to do with the value of the old computer as compared to the value of the new computer. It's very similar in nature to replacement cost insurance. If my B/WG3 400 were to get stolen then the insurance company would look at it and ask me a few question. I would tell them that it was the middle of the line when purchased. They usually would not persue it any further at this point simply calling Apple and finding the value of an equal replacement middle line tower.
If he is perfectly happy with this then that's fine. I'm just stating what is right and fair.
