I've always hated apple after the Mac 2c i owned. I've ranted on /, about Apple, I've fought tooth and nail over gaming versus artsy fartsy.
Putting all that aside - I'd hate anyone who could look at a dead mothers will and decide to enforce an EULA over a piece of plastic with metal that happened to contain information the children could hold dear. It's just wrong.
She could of flung it out a car window, or had it buried with her, but passing her investment into an item to her children is strictly forbidden? That's worse than Steve Jobs buying cars every six months so he could park in handicapped spaces.
There's a special place in hell reserved for people that run apple.
