Apple Software vs. Apple Corps
« on: 7 May 2005, 15:10 »
Been going on for years...

When Apple Software started up, there was another company called "Apple Corps" (The Beetles record company). In order to use their name, Apple Software made a deal so that they will never use sound or music in any of their products. That was blown away with System 7.0, which used sound effects and the first MIDI music instruments.

And look what they've got now! iTunes, iPod, its gone crazy!

Some of u might know of this already, i just wanted 2 know ur opinion!

The two Apple companies got nothing to do with each other and the lawsuit is rediculous!

Anyway, I thought it was against copyright law to trademark dictionary words like that? Is this true?
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
