I have changed the page title from the registered company name APLNow to the service mark and commonly-used name APL2000, following the policies at [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Official names|Wikipedia:Official names]]. The registered name is very obscure as it is not even used by the company itself in most publications.

I put in a small but positive editorial opinion about the forum which I trust is OK but am ready to submit to the "merciless editing" principle if not. It is an interesting forum though (:>)
