An "Apple computer" is by definition a member of the Apple II line.  
Apple now only makes Macintoshes.  You don't expect to get Amiga software 
when you ask for Commodore, do you?  The Amiga was made by Commodore, but 
the Amiga is not "a Commodore".  You see the analogy?  A PowerBook is 
made by Apple, but it's not "an Apple".

Who said I was trying to help her?  :)  She bought a crappy PowerBook and 
she gets no sympathy from me for coming to the Apple II group to whine 
about her lost faith in ACI.  Bummer.
