That's right folks!  It's alternate reality time! :->

If it's not clear to you that Apple has made strenuous efforts to protect their
copyrights -- efforts which would have certainly included action against AMAX,
et al. had they been necessary -- then you must be in an alternate history,
where Apple was purchased by the FSF in early 1987.  In MY reality, Apple seems
to have made great effort to protect their copyrights.

Or else Apple has been hiring their lawyers off late night TV ads.
