AppleMasters
AppleMasters was a group of selected people from all over the world who used and endorsed the Apple Macintosh computer. According to Apple, AppleMasters were "an international group of educators, artists, designers, writers, producers, architects, inventors, scientists, business leaders, humanitarians, musicians, athletes and others who think different."[1] 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 branded equipment.[2] The more active members included Sinbad, Herbie Hancock, James Woods, Gregory Hines, and Bryan Adams.[3]

The AppleMasters program was launched in 1996. The program was managed globally by Kanwal Sharma[2] Based on findings at archive.org's WayBackMachine, Apple removed the program from their web site on or before August 7, 2002.[4]
