  There already seems to be confusion over "apple.com" and "ftp.apple.com".
  It's going to be impossible to advise someone to "ftp apple.com" without
  running the risk of the obvious misunderstanding.
  Is there some way to make the two names clearly different, or is it too 
   late?

Why does apple have these two sites?  What is the difference between them?  Who
are they for? etc...:)
