Apple C3

I thought it was "Apple C3?" C3 was a company that held many DOD contracts. They
got in trouble with the Justice Dept. and ended up merging with and changing their
name
to Telos. Telos is a small California-originated company that developed much of
the
Deep Space Network at JPL. Anyway, C3 liked putting their logo on systems when
they
delivered them to customers as a package. I remember in high school thinking that
C3
somehow owned Interdata as the latter was the system that we had in all American
high
schools in Europe at the time. Truth is that C3 held the systems contracts for
supplying
Interdata computers to all the schools and for that put their logo on the
computers.
Perhaps an Apple C3 is a similar situation? The question is did this Apple system
belong
to an indvidual or an organization? Where is the photo to really assist with
clarification?
