"too" Apple?  Can *anything* be "too Apple"?  The world needs *more* Apple:-)

Thanks for the suggestion, Geraldine;-)

I don't have cable so I'm in the dark on that one.  Not into faux much, except

I'm with you.  We called them chaulk boards, because sometimes they were

Now I like the Apple imagery-- perhaps combined with the icthus to make "[]["?

Uhh, too swarmy.  "Are you a goer? Huh? Know what I mean? Know what I mean?
Wink, wink!  Nudge, nudge!"

This *is* a difficult business, and I thank you greatly for your suggestions
