Seeing as how Apple was VERY big on using code names while developing
the //gs, and many names had to do with locales (or other things, like
Rambo), I think it would be fitting to code-name the product something
like "Homebrew" or "Palo Alto" system in commemoration of the debut of
the original Apple computer back in April of 1976.  Or, perhaps,
"California System" or "April Fools System" since Apple originated in
California and the company was founded on April Fool's Day, 1976.

However,  I'm not so optimistic about Apple's reaction to such a release
- I fear that Apple will, with it's typical bulldog attitude, latch on
to the producers of this product and go for the throat.  Caution needs
to be applied here.  Talk to Apple first.  Anonymously.

Give what you would like to receive,
