Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jobs Offers Apple Lisa Early Adopters Store Credit
Cupertino, CA – Early adopters of the iPhone weren't the only ones receiving in-store credit from Steve Jobs. In an overlooked announcement, Jobs said that early adopters of the Apple Lisa would be receiving a $7000 in-store credit.
Apple LisaApple released the Lisa in January of 1983 for $9,995, and the similar Macintosh was released a year later for $2,495.
"I've felt bad about people who bought the Lisa for a long time. Anybody who bought one of the first Apple Lisas really got screwed," said Jobs. "Now that we've got some cash, I think it's about time we made it right."
People interested in the refund will need to bring in an original receipt showing they bought the Lisa in 1983 and proof of purchase from the Apple Lisa box. Sales figures from that year show that if all people who bought the computer claim the refund, Apple could be liable for almost $70,000.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
An orginal receipt and proof of purchase?

Sorry, I just assumed everyone would get the joke right away.
Which, I dunno, but I can be rather gullible from time to time myself....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I liked the bit where if everyone who ever bought one claimed the refund, Apple would be liable for $70,000. Nice touch.
