Unfortunately
the two Steves (Jobs and Wozaniak) weren't the first to use Apple as its
corporate moniker. Those familiar with the Beatles, remember their famous Apple
label on many of their records. It was in 1968 that the Fab Four formed Apple Corps to represent their
creative and musical interests. But after Apple Computer rose to prominence,
the two companies worked out an agreement that Apple Computer would keep its
logo and name out of the music business. And that changed in 2003, when Apple began
selling music through Itunes. It took 7 more years before the Beatles (Paul and
Ringo) finally let it be, and let Itunes carry their music.
