Sure, and even if Apple didn't have a leg to stand on in court, a call
from their lawyers saying "we'd prefer if you used another name" could
be intimidating looking at their history.
Then again, if System 7 had played a few tracks for some key
executives in the Seattle area, next month we'd see Microsoft Techno for
Windows hit the shelves on the heels of a big lawsuit claiming Gates &
co. had invented the stuff in the first place. What a strange
industry we work in :-)
