I've been reading all the press about the Apple lawsuit over the logo, and
there's something I'd like to ask/mention.

I've always been told that a contract can be invalidated if it has not been
enforced.

People have been making music on Apples since the Apple II in the mid 1970's.
Doesn't it seem a little late for Apple Records to come along 13 years later
and demand a piece of the pie?

Anyway, as I see it, none of the computers are expressly designed for making
music.  The only product that I could see a problem with is Apple's selling
a MIDI interface, and if that is a problem, they should just move it over to
Claris. :-)
