From: JF Mezei on 9 Jan 2010 19:31 OK, I must have been in a coma in the last 20 years.... When did Apple drop the "rainbow" colours from its logo and get a white/grey logo ? Was it when Jobs all-mighty came back to Apple ? (G3 days). I know that a year or two ago, they removed the "Computers" from their corporate name.

(G3 days). To avoid doing your googling for you, I'll just say it was quite a few years ago. Did you really just now learn this? You haven't seen a Mac Menu Bar, visited Apple.com,or been in an Apple Store (or even seen a photo of the exterior of an Apple Store) in all those years? > I know that a year or two ago, they removed the "Computers" from their > corporate name. No, "Computers" was never in Apple's corporate name. It was "Apple Computer, Inc." Now it is "Apple, Inc." Davoud -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

It's just a worst case scenario of the typical Mac user.

I have some of the older rainbow decals that have Apple Computer Inc. on them. Sometime after that, they changed the font to Apple Garamond, later dropped the word Computer off the decals too

I must have several dozens from over the years, but haven't used a one. When- and why- did they start? -- john mcwilliams |
