Yeah, Apple Records, the label the Beatles recorded with (owned?). I 
remember my parents' Abbey Road album with a big picture of a Granny 
Smith on the centre label.

They agreed to allow Apple Computer to use the name on the condition 
that they not enter the music business. I guess they decided that the 
Ensoniq chip crossed the line. I've heard that since then, Apples have 
had to generate their music in software, not hardware.
