NOT THE APPLE OF HIS EYE
Famed scientist Carl Sagan apparently didn't cotton to Apple
Computer Inc.'s having borrowed his name for an [sic] new
computer.
After receiving a complaint from Sagan, Apple changed the
internal code name of an upcoming model from "Carl Sagan" to
"Butt-Head Astronomer," the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The scientist asked the company to stop using his name after an
article about the new model appeared in MacWeek magazine, the
newspaper said.
The Butt-Head Astronomer--referred to as BHA for short--is one of
three Apple models that will use the PowerPC microprocessor, which
was developed by an alliance of Apple, Motorola Inc. and
International Business Machines, Corp.
