What amuses me the most about the Apple logo crackdown is the Apple logo
itself--will Apple sue Apple Records, the company which used the green
apple with a bite out of the side, the company which published some
old Beatles stuff (I think--I have to check my record collection), and
the company from which Woz and Jobs obviously stole their logo from?!?

My only comment about all this is that the Apple lawyers are obviously
obnoxious idiots who don't realize the thin ice Apple sometimes legally
skates.  Or maybe the crackdown is occuring only to those third party
developers who Apple knows it can bankrupt in court...  *sigh*

Solution:  FROM NOW ON, all future products who were going to affix the
prefix "Mac" to their product, should prefix "TT" instead:  Tan Toaster.
Ie:  TTWrite, TTPaint, TTDraw, TTStats,...
