	that's how I think it should be done, but from what I've heard, some-
one has trademarked "* Classic".. so that anything using Classic needs to
pay them...

	I was also told that it's NOT Coke that originally trademarked it,
so both Coke & Apple are paying whoever trademarked it.

	(Also, if you trademark it for only one type of product as you
say, why can Apple Records sue Apple computer?)
