My brother was regional apple marketing rep back in the apple II days (largest physical region in CONUS). When he came into town for business meetings I would get invited to some business dinners ... even getting to argue MAC design with developers (before MAC was first announced). He had marketing story about noticing IBM coffee mugs at customers and fawning over how great they were and willing to trade 2-3 APPLE mugs for every IBM mug. trivia: at the time, APPLE business was run on IBM S/38 ... my brother found out how to dial in to the S/38 remotely and be able to track manufacturing and delivery schedules (for his customers).
