@Etienne: Duhhh.... Drew Barrymore

@Ronald: Duhhhh....Steve Wozniak. (DON'T say Steve Jobs actually WORKED on it !!! Already then he was the guy with the business feeling and of course about what is good and what is not good...

André:



Yes it was indeed Mr Robinett's infamous easter egg in ADVENTURE which he kept secret and was found by a player long after the game was released.

Bonus:
Wozniak-Jobs back in the days


Also: Cool easter egg in firefox if you type that in the address bar:

Nice pic by the way Chris, looks like an Apple I they are work on (the thing they built out of parts they "borrowed" at Atari...)

To date, this must have been Nolan Busnell's greatest and biggest and hugest mistake:

Turning those guys down on the idea of creating and selling a home computer......

Else, I'd may still have an Atari iMac on my desk at home right now..... sigh.......sniff..... :'( :'( :'(

(PING, IDEA, can somebody photoshop a picture of a 27"iMac with an Atari logo (just the fuji) in there ?


Wasn't the reason for choosing Apple as a brand name not also because so they would be listed in front of Atari in any alphabetically ordered (phonebook) list ?
