1. Apple should let you take your existing drive into a dealer, pay him 
something (I can't figure out what, but that's their job), copy A/UX onto it, 
and leave.

2. If they insist on giving you a new drive with A/UX on it, they should let 
you trade in your old one for SUBSTANTIAL savings.

Both of these two solutions is obvious.  Either one seems fair.  Having 
neither is ridiculous and very, very disappointing, both to people who bought 
80MB drives in anticipation of Unix and simple Apple-watchers like myself.
