I don't know if there was any truth behind the "bite out of Apple"

capitalization goes, any contemporary news articles I've seen in the
magazines Byte, InfoWorld, Creative Computing, and 80 Micro always
referred to it as the Adam.

Anyone know the background / meaning of
Coleco's "Adam" name?
PS - I should have mentioned the "bite out of Apple" story in my first
post. A million web sites claim that to be fact, but nobody ever cites
PROOF .... it's always, "I heard," or "My friend's sister's
brother
worked at a Coleco reseller and he says" ..... the story is urban legend
until someone can prove it or authoritatively state they were involved
in the decision.
