Or you can contact a school and see if anyone would like to do it for free the experience

This was a crucial step in Apple’s journey into becoming a trillion dollar company. Dongles.

It’s a damn shame that you can’t go to a pharmacy in the airport, tell this tale, and get some xanex to zonk out and time travel to your destination.
