Steve Jobs had worked during the summer at an apple farm, and admired the Beatles' record label, Apple. He also believed Apples to be the most perfect fruit. He and Steve Wozniak were trying to figure out a name for their new company, and they decided that if they couldn't think of one by the end of the day that was better than Apple, they would choose Apple. They couldn't think of anything better, so on April 1, 1976, Apple Computer, Inc. was born.rossoUK said:I was wondering how did apple get its name? Pardon me I just switched!

tech4all said:Is the official color white? Because, the way I see it at least, the Apple logo is used as solid color without any particular color. Then, of course, you have the "gel" version of the logo that appears on the Apple menu in OS X (more so with Panther).
