	A number of months ago the Wall Street Journal ran an article
about how Bill Gates really plays hardball and forced Apple into using
his products.  So maybe Mr. Sculley is still upset about this, but that
doesn't explain HP in the suit.

	I *do* boycott Apple as a consumer because they charge way too
much for their computers.  That's why I own an Amiga, which lets me
do [ ... cut out religious & technical arguements not appropriate
here :-) ].
