Ok, I see where you were going with this. Perhaps it is because in
Apple's eyes those other sites are positively supporting the brand and
trademark by being related to Newton in the first place. Axcess is
diluting the trademark by using it for an enterprise that is definitely
_not_ Newton related. This is me grasping at the possibility that someone
at Apple (even in the legal department) actually cares about the Newton
brand and the small bit of consumer awareness it represents for Apple.
