Every now and then I still call the Command key the 'open apple key' which also then shows how much I know about modern Apple computers (as in I don't own or use one normally).
- jfb 13y agoI work at Apple and I still call it the Apple key.
- coolsunglasses 13y agoI pinch my nose when I use a Mac and call it the command key. Sometimes you never can tell. I think I call it this because it's a de-facto super key for me as an Emacs user and the title of it is inescapable.
- yuhong 13y agoI think the Apple logo was added to it when ADB was introduced with the Apple IIgs and Mac SE/II. It was eliminated in the new keyboards released in Aug 2007.
- glurgh 13y agoThe apple keys were on Apple /// and Apple //e keyboards, before the gs or ADB. It's 'open apple' because there was also a filled-in 'closed apple' http://www.rhod.fr/images/apple3/apple3-01.jpg http://www.rhod.fr/images/apple3/apple3-01.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Apple_IIe.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Apple_IIe...
- yuhong 13y agoYea, that was why the Apple logo was added to the ADB keyboards. The Apple IIgs had to be compatible with the IIe.
- henderson101 13y agoYuhong is correct, Mac 128 era keyboards have no Control key. Weird. Option also hay the word and no logo. Command is just the clover, no text.
