Thank you! This is interesting. I’d go to a Google/wikipedia/youtube rabbit hole now

Oh I’m completely unaware. I’ll go check them out.

Is this like the premise for a movie?

I don’t recall apricot and olivetti. But the other I have vague memories especially the Macintosh one. Compaq doesn’t count as it is still existing.

Apricot? So there were 2 pc makers with connection to fruit? Or Macintosh is not yet Apple then?
