Yeah, that would be a problem. And certainly no one could have foreseen 8-9
years ago that so many Mac people would come to the point of not even
knowing that the Apple II existed.  With 20-20 hindsight, Apple II users
would have done well to have claimed a name that does not have the full
word "apple" in it, such as a2 or apl2. But we can't retroactively change
the world. <g>
