there was a place called '
creative books or some such in town here who...also were told by apple
that the apple with a bite in it they used on their books was a cr
violation and that apple was gonna sue  them up..unfortunatly for
apple..the book place had cr that logo 15yrs or so before apple existed
lucky for apple the place thought it was funny ...rather then a way
to make some bucks off apple and let it go....apple groveled nicely and
retreated rapidly...they still have the logo on their books...etc.
and they gave perm to apple to use the logo on their
stuff....lucky,lucky apple.
