Upon seeing a documentary on Apple with the old Apple logo, I asked myself "when did it happen". G3s and Imacs had colour schemes so I figured the lack of the coloured Apple logo was part of the styling of the hardware (instead of a reflection of a new corporate logo). The 8.6 apple logo on those machines was still the coloured Apple logo. So I wasn't sure if the corporate logo had changed when Jobs got in (G3 generation) or when OS-X was unveiled. > You haven't seen a Mac > Menu Bar, Since OS-X is very different, I just equated the different "Apple" logo to the different "skin" given to the desktop in OS-X. And I just forgot about the old logo and didn't think about it until now.

It took until March 2001 for it to be gone from the current public OS release (OS X 10.0). -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

They used to be good for discounts on Mac OS upgrades. To get the discount, you mailed in a specific coupon from the previous Mac OS version. I believe I used one to get Mac OS 9.0; I still have the Mac OS 8.5 coupon card, and coupon #3 is missing. |
