why remove the Apple logo from the command key?

[suneohair]

I would like it to stay. What's next? the apple on our laptops. If I wanted a Dell I'd buy one.

Only .057% of people actually recognize the Apple on the keyboard anyway. We don't need it anymore. Just like we don't need the number pad.

Really though, talk about slippery slope argument on the laptop Apple logo.

yes but often I find them and add the text myself. (I did for that one)
cat macros (lolcats) just really amuse me... I find uses for them everywhere.

guess apple is now for its new customers, and their old loyal customers don't matter to much.

You do realize that the really old customers (the ones who predate the ADB Keyboard) remember a time when Mac didn't have "open-Apple" keys, don't you?

The only reason that the Mac ended up with an Apple on the Command key, next to the St. Hannes cross, is that the keyboard was shared with the Apple IIgs, whose system used the "open-Apple" and "closed-Apple" (Option) as menu-based command keys. The original, internal builds, of the first Macintosh operating system used the "open-Apple" as the command key symbol, but Steve Jobs decided that it the heavy use of the company logo in the OS was chintzy, so he asked the developers to come up with an alternative icon, hence the St. Hannes cross.

The "open-Apple" appeared on the Mac solely due to cost-saving reasons, I for one, am not sad to see it go, as it solely served to confuse newbies -- if I had nickel for all the times I've heard "why call it 'Command,' when you could just call it the 'Apple' key?"

Sometimes I want to print out large versions of them and hold them up to people, especially during meetings.
