It is interesting because before Apple formed as a company, there was another company called Apple. It was owned by the Beatles. When Apple computer started up, they were sued by Apple recording. The agreement allowed new Apple computer to keep their name so long as they agreed never to get into the music business. When Apple computer started selling digital music on the 'net, the Beatles were nowhere to be found in that digital collection. Anyway, this is the story I heard and have believed. Maybe one of you can confirm or refute it. Actually, here's the data... http://www.google.com/search?q=apple+computer+apple+recording+suit+beatles ...but I don't have time to sift through it now to make sure I have the story right. Mike
