OK, Genius, fix this one!

Far be it from us to ridicule folks who desperately cling to ancient technology, hoping against hope it will serve their current needs — nevermind, let's ridicule them. This pic was apparently snapped at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store, where the customer had brought in a Mac SE, circa 1988, asking for upgrade recommendations. The guy had apparently been using the machine, which runs at a blazing 8MHz (and this time that's not a typo!), for his banking —
and for some bizarre reason he decided it was time to look into something a little beefier. Given that the Genius actually appears to be checking the machine out, rather than smirking knowingly and recommending that the customer turn it into a fish tank, we think there's a good chance he told him to upgrade the RAM (the SE can handle a whopping 4MB)
and sent him home. And then smirked knowingly to his fellow Geniuses.
