<LOL> That's been done before. Anybody remember the short-lived Apple Lisa 
computer (~1979 I think)? Rumor had it that it was named after Steve Jobs' (or 
Steve Wozniak's) girlfriend. It was a complete failure in the marketplace for 
some reason. Long time ago... For whatever reason, it just wasn't what the 
personal computer market wanted at the time. But they kept right on pushing 
Apple IIs out the door until the Mac came out.
