   It IS too bad that certain companies (Apple Lotus) have
   turned the personal recreational term "look and feel" into a
   legal term...with no relationship to it's prior fun useage.

   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if you can sue a lawyer for
   using the term "look and feel" which CERTAINLY predates its
   useage in courts of law...except for divorce, paternity
   cases, etc.   >:-)
