AppleMasters

AppleMasters was a group of selected people from all over the world who used and endorsed the Apple Macintosh computer. According to Apple, the AppleMasters was "an international group of educators, artists, designers, writers, producers, architects, inventors, scientists, business leaders, humanitarians, musicians, athletes and others who think different." [ [http://www.apple.com/applemasters Apple Inc's AppleMasters site (defunct)] ] As part of Apple's "Think Different" advertising campaign, Apple would use the members in various forms of advertising - including company events and commercials. In return, Apple would reimburse the members with free computers and other Apple-logo'd equipment. The more active members included Sinbad, Herbie Hancock, James Woods, Gregory Hines and Bryan Adams.
