How about Apple using an abbreviation? MAGA - Make Apple Great Again?

Bah! That abbreviation has already been taken by someone across the pond. In reality Apple will probably use another Californian landmark's name . Your guess is as good as mine :)

of some people I would like to see interned there but I couldn't
possibly say who ;-)

Joking apart, I've managed to get a GG VM working with a bit of fiddling
using the Viable app. I'm not risking upgrading my host system yet
not even putting GG on a separate volume or external SSD. I've not done
much serious testing yet but it appears to be pretty stable. All the
Usenet clients I use seem to run OK.
