@thomasfuchs I really wish I kept more of my software boxes. Those things were magnificent.

I may have to do a vinyl wrap again on my laptop

@thomasfuchs Where did you get the wee classic Apple logo from?

@thomasfuchs I had the same on one of mine a while back! 👍

I think this is my favourite though...

@stokes I'm always amused when I see phony illuminated computer logos on TV. Those are mostly Apple laptops. While other companies enjoy free promotion no matter how it comes, you technically need permission. Many companies PAY for that, but Apple denies it for any case that might associate its brand with anything villainous or criminal. As a result, soap operas and such CAN'T use it, because that would make necessary ambiguity impossible for them. Apple's cutting their own throat, I say.

@thomasfuchs Absolutely loved Atari’s product design from that era (and also the earlier “late 70’s beige” era)

@thomasfuchs I remember having read manuals of the Atari 800xl which were far more rainbowy than this. They may have been printed by third parties, but the meme was out there for sure.
