Apple – Why the name?

Speaking with Luke Grant today on MTR1377 and he posed the question – “why is Apple called Apple?”.

Frankly, I didn’t know.

A quick Wikipedia check suggests:

According to Steve Jobs, Apple was so named because Jobs was coming back from an apple farm, and he was on a fruitarian diet. He thought the name was “fun, spirited and not intimidating

Not quite as inspiring as we’d hope really huh?
