And "Apple" is a trademark of The Beatles.

And Sun Microsystems was "asked" to cease using the trademarked "Yellow Pages"
and is now using something that is a trademark of my company.  Same for HP's
use of "VUE" (which is also a trademark of my company).

And you should see my company's lawyers jumping around and wringing their hands
in glee!   Gee, I've *NEVER* seen lawyers smile like that before, it's almost
as diabolical as during the case "IRS vs. Margolis" ("we" won, by the way :-)
