Fred,
Have you ever seen any actual "Kentucky Fried Computers" anything?
Ads? Marketing lit? Hardware? Letterhead? Incorporation application?
I've looked in the past and have never turned up anything.

Hmmmm. where to find "Google streets" of 2465 4th street (east side of
street, near Dwight Way) from 40 years ago?, . . .
10 years ago, when I was looking for pictures and memorabilia from those
days, a friend of mine said that he thought that he remembered them having
a small sign on the front of the building; but he's dead, and his
collection of pictures of interest of Berkeley and Albany was dumpstered
immediately after his death. Now, there is a biodiesel place and some
maildrops there.
Hmmm. Maybe, if you contacted KFC and asked their IP lawyers for details
and anecdotes for how they have protected their trademark?, . . .
