If it ain't broke lol you would think with all of the tech going on out there that some lie say Apple would simply step up to the plate.  Offer some of Apples traded in inventory at a minimum in exchange for advertising perhaps lol  man ,who is running stuff out their these days . it seems like they have gone of the rails in so many ways. My last venture out there riding the Bart in 2015 was a scary experience just from the sounds the train made. I can only imagine , if they haven't upgraded the software and or hardware , the trains and infrastructure must be even worse I guess it doesn't matter not many businesses are still open in San Francisco.  It appears like a Mad Max city scape, with dark age toiletry and night of the living dead ambience  I guess one plus  is the looters won't target the floppy drives .
