Just my two cents worth...

Much as I love my Apples here at home, it makes me sick to see how sue-happy
Apple is.  I'd like nothing more than to see Apple *LOSE* and see a lot of
this clone lawsuit garbage quit.

I think all of Apple's lawsuits to date have really been bad for the computer
industry, especially for the creation of new materials for Apple computers
and the like.

Consider this: suppose that someone had copyrighted the "look and feel" of
a book.  Then you couldn't write a book without either licensing or violating
copyright.

Before you know it, we won't be able to think without violating copyright
in our thoughts somehow.  ("STOP THINKING THAT THOUGHT! It's copyrighted!")

PS: Did someone forget comp.sys.apple???  Imagine my surprise to find this
    discussion ONLY in comp.sys.ibm.pc! (I don't read either comp.sys.mac
    or comp.windows.ms ...)
