Just curious: how do YOU spell and punctuate the names of each of the
Apple 6502 based computers?

How do you feel about the people who ARE parties to Apple's marketing?

How do you spell and capitalize the name of the computer that Jobs
marketed after Apple?

How do you capitalize the Apple music player, and the giant evil auction
site?


Yes, my company name is XenoSoft.
For a short while, about 30 years ago,
Microsoft capitalized their 'S' also.
