Interesting read. Thanks for the link, at least this presents positive posts.


I am still a little confused considering the words that were to promote the iMac, were all written with capitals

"Apple has been using a lowercase "i" to begin many of its product names ever since Steve Jobs introduced the first iMac computer on May 7, 1998. His explanation for the "i" at the time was as follows:

iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the Internet with the simplicity of Macintosh. Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the #1 use that consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the Internet -- simply, and fast. And that is what this product is targeted for.

"i" also means some other things to us. We are a personal computer company, and although this product is born to network, it also is a beautiful stand-alone product. We are targeting it also for education. They want to buy these. And it is perfect for most of the things they do in instruction. It is perfect for finding tremendous sources of information over the Internet. And we hope as you see the product it will inspire us all to make even better products in the future.

Internet. Individual. Instruct. Inform. Inspire. Steve Jobs may have originally used those words to describe the iMac, but they sure do apply quite nicely to the iPhone, don't they?"


They do apply, but all with capitals???
