Do you think Robocop II had Apple's permission?  It's obviously a Mac
that's running Robocop II (nasty, psychotic, bad guy) and Robocop I
(good guy) looks a lot like MS-DOS.  I was positively cackling at the
slam on Apple.  (Not that I like MS-DOS but it is their main
competitor)

They replaced the Apple menu with a skull.  I want to do that to some
Macs around here.
