I heard that Apple Records had sued Apple Computer over the use of the Apple name and logo, several years ago, and that they reached an out of court settlement in that Apple Computer agreed not to compete in the music business. The argument is that now that A.C. is making music hardware and software under the Apple logo, A.R. could be damaged if it tried to also market music software/hardware. One would really have to carefully look over the original out-of-court agreement between AC and AR to know whether the lawsuit is rubbish. Note that Baretta (the Italian gun manufacturer) successfuly sued GM over the Baretta trademark. -Eric Pivnik P.S. It's about time someone sued Apple Computer. There price increases were obnoxious.
