In all of the debate about the Apple IIGS or any other new product we should
ignore pejoratives and slurs.  The term "Frogmade" in a recent message is reay quite offensive to people of French descent.  I lso

In response to your comment that the term that I used for the design of
the Apple IIGS cabinet as "Frogdesigned", and that may be offensive to
our French or French descended populace here on this bulletin board,
let me clarify myself.  Frogdesign is the name of the *company* who is
contracted to design the cases of Apple computers and peripherals.  Their
designs include the Apple IIGS, the Imagewriter II, and the new Macintoshes
due to be released today (March 2).  Sorry if this wasn't obvious to
everyone on the net (and it probably wasn't).

Someone objected to the term "Frogmade" used in a message.  Frog is the
name of the visual design company that designed the exterior of the //c,
//gs, and now the Mac SE and Mac II.
