sys32 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 :huh: Maybe I'm just an idiot over-looking something very obvious to any other avid Mac user, but what in the heck does the "i" stand for in Apple's naming conventions. (i.e., iMac, iTunes, etc...) :ninja: Please don't flame me, I was just wondering. :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 :huh: Maybe I'm just an idiot over-looking something very obvious to any other avid Mac user, but what in the heck does the "i" stand for in Apple's naming conventions. (i.e., iMac, iTunes, etc...) :ninja: Please don't flame me, I was just wondering. :alien: I think the original intent behind the "i" was "internet"....iMac being the first. Since then it's obviously changed meanings. I think it means "my". My tunes, my movie, my calender, my chat. I dunno. Just a guess....I guess.

sdkaneda Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 it's just a marketing bullsh!t term. it probably has no meaning whatsoever, or a different one according to what the current hype is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
