Early versions of the Apple Logo were repleat with Newton under the tree.

So it does seem that they unitentionally follow the spirit of Newton.

As their shareholders would expect them to. Doesn't really matter to them
whether they are morally or ethically the first with GUI.

I would judge Apple's new sales figures on their own "clones" to bely the 
success of President Stallmans sanctions & boycott against Saddam Sculley.
I would also say it is unnoticed by them...their target audience is now
corporate america and small businesses.

If you really wanted to hammer them you would promote say the NeXT machine
as the programmers machine of choice and mount your offensive in the 
marketplace by developing the most powerful applications in existence for
personal computing on that platform.

Then refuse to port them to Macintosh. But port them to RS6000 running
NextStep/GNU/Objective C.

Anyway have fun guys....
