I don't know if there was any truth behind the
"bite out of Apple"
story, but it was mentioned in news reports as early as 1985. As far
as 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.
Wasn't Eve the first one to take a bite of the apple? Adam was just
the innocent victim, succumbing to the wiles of a scheming woman.
Many more victims would follow with no lessons being learned.
So why isn't the Coleco box called the "Eve"?
