Thank you for repling to my post. I think I am going to esclate the issue with Apple. Below is what Apple sent me after I requested the upgrade.

Why had I never thought of adding Insanity Peppers to a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster.

What sucks about refurbs is Apple's OS upgrade policy. It isn't transparent.

I have never had a problem with an Apple refurb. I have a few rules. Don't but a first generation product and always get AppleCare. It has always been worth the savings.
