Let's make an Apple Computer Alphabet!

This is not a game that will go on indefinitely, so get in while you can. Here are the rules:
1. Post a list of 26 words or phrases, starting with the letters A through Z, each having something to do with Apple Computer and its products.

2. Your list cannot use a word or phrase that's been used in a previously posted list.

3. When we run out of unique Apple-related words for A-Z lists, the game is over and we all win!​
 
Here is the best I can come up with:

Blue Dalmation
Cinema Display

eMac
Flower Power
G5

I'm impressed - nice work!

I changed the rules so phrases are officially allowed, so perhaps we can think of a few more.

Don't worry if somebody else posts while you are composing yours and that produces duplicates. No penalty points for accidental duplicates like that.
 
Apologies if any of these are duplicates – I"ve had a quick check and I think I'm in the clear. We're off to the pub now, so if any are duplicates, hard luck. :p
