So, looking this over, I really hope Ben Zotto checked to make sure that the name and logo weren't still owned by someone. It'd be a shame for someone doing good historical work to attacked by a random troll.

Missed opportunity for the virtual Sphere to work on mobile via the keyboard in the graphics!

It was the wrong shape for its name.


I had never heard of them before but immediately thought: “I love it, what a cool name!”. Sphere and computer feels like such a juxtaposition


They could have been the Apple!
