Tim,

I too found it quite bizarre, but then I think I figured it out...... 
He's using the term "Apple //" like a person might use the designation 
"PC".  A Dell, a Compaq, an HP, a whatever, are all PC's.  In other 
words, he's using "Apple //" as a type or kind, not a brand.  Like what 
people, at least in the US, do with Kleenex, or Scotch Tape, or Crescent 
Wrenchs
