If you're attempting to sell a different but too similarly named
product on such a site, it's definitely prohibited.  But a
non-commercial hobbyist activity related to an obsolete computer is a
quite different matter - why should such a site be prohibited?  Even
if it's named something with "apple" - after all, the obsolete
computer is an Apple!
