        Huh?  Since when did Apple have anything to do with the A2
RoundTable?  ICON runs A2, and Apple has no interest in ICON, so where do
they enter the picture?  Dean Esmay, I presume, gets some kind of cut of that
$20 as head sysop, but Apple's out of the loop.  It's also available for
distribution through user groups, many of whom get no money for doing so. 
Apple _certainly_ doesn't get a cut of that.
