Geez, I sure hope Apple desn't hire you to do marketing. Can you imagine a
worse name for a computer than the "Apple Virus 130LC."
Here are a few I've tried to come up with:
* The DEC Dataloss 300SE
* The Compaq Lockup 90
* The Gateway HeavyWeight LC, Ultralite Notebok PC
* The IBM HAL 9000
* Il Olivetti Obsoletto DX
* The Dell Why not just admit that you're blowing $3700 on this thing
just to play _Navy Fighters_ in hi-res, Pentium LXI.*
*included free with purchase: Broderbund's _Honey I can explain_, an
exciting new CD ROM adventure game in which Gerry Gadget Freak tries to
justify his newest computer purchase to his wife. Guide Gerry through many
a spine tingling adventure as he tries to save his crumbling marriage. But
hurry the clock's ticking!
