    Default IBM / Infocom

    I came across THIS auction for a IBM docking station and noticed that it was called an Infocom and the font was exactly the same as Infocom the game company's. Does anyone know of a connection between the two companies?

    I suspect some nerd slapped an Infocom sticker on there.

    EDIT: ahh
    "The INFOCOM can be removed if sold/the winning bidder requests."

    Funny. Yeah, somebody slapped that on there. Pretty good job centering it too.

    Yeah, do the decent thing and slap an old-school Apple bumper sticker on there instead!

    Heh, somehow as a kid I found a Apple IIe "enhanced" upgrade kit, or at least the stickers. Fun times. Haven't found a use for them though...
