Apple's trade-in offer is a pathetic ripoff.  Here at the UI, some
cunning students went to the student union, where the trade-in program
was being run.  They stood outside the door and offered CASH to those
people who were there to trade in their computers.

These students got some really great bargains on macintosh computers.
Apple's trade-in program was exposed as a ripoff.

So what did Apple do?  They called the campus police to have these
student "troublemakers" thrown out of the building.
