OK, let's get in touch with a little reality here.  Apple is not taking
companies like Commodore and NeXT to court simply because they pose no
threat to Apple, but Microsoft does.  Things like Wingz, PageMaker 4.0,
QuarkXPress, WordPerfect, and Ventura Publisher have been brought over to
Windows.  You think that doesn't make the geniuses at Apple, with their
"Desktop Publishing Advantage", even a little bit worried?
