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.
Thanks,
Bill

Thank you for the correction.
Yes, companies often change their names.
Gary Kildall founded Intergalactic Digital Research.
George Morrow founded Thinker Toys, which later became Morrow's Micro
Stuff, and eventually Morrow Designs.
Greenberg and Grant founded Kentucky Fried Computers, which became North
Star (due to a lawsuit from a chicken place), and eventually NorthStar
Can you pinpoint when the microcomputer businesses lost their sense of
humor?

Micro-Soft not MicroSoft as I had written. When trying to preserve
computing history it's really not permissable to make such an
error.(It's the prof. in me!)
Happy Computing!
Murray :)
