I vaguely recall a licensing arrangement between McIntosh (the stereo
people) and Apple, allowing Apple to call the computer "Macintosh".
Heck, wasn't the name "Apple" licensed from the British record company of
the same name (Apple the computer company could use the name as long as
they didn't get into the music business. . .which made things get
interesting when people started doing MIDI stuff with Macs . . .)

Any lawsuits there with that second item?
