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!
