You'd think Apple Computer, the essence of user-friendliness, would have an e-mail address listed on their Web site. But hey, I understand: answering all that customer e-mail is a lot of work.

They do give out the e-mail address of their webmaster, but this is the response you'll get.

I guess this means they don't do Apple, either.

I was at Macworld Expo this week, and I saw someone walking around with a T-shirt that read:

I don't do Windows(tm).

It took me a while to get it, but then I thought it was sooo cute! It's a common phrase, but it's also an insult to Microsoft! What a scream!

My question is this: did the (tm) at the end of the phrase mean that you were respecting the Microsoft Windows trademark, or that you had trademarked that phrase?

I'm very curious because I'm going to print up some of these shirts for myself and my mother, and don't want to get tangled up in any lawsuits from you guys.

Keep up the good work!
