To those who might not have heard, our friends at Apple have instituted another lawsuit. (I guess that their lawyers don't have anything else to do at the moment.) The gist of their claim is that HP & Microsoft have violated some exclusive right that Apple has on the mouse/icon presentation and on-screen representation. Interestingly, they did not even mention ATARI (ST) or our beloved AMIGA's.
