Steve Jobs just happened to be eating a McIntosh Apple at the time
they asked him what Apple's new computer should be called, and he's
never been a good speller, so it was dubbed "MacIntosh."

If they had asked him for the name twenty minutes sooner, Apple fans
would be using computers called "Tuna Fish Salad."

poor edwin, i rarely see his post but this one shows he's nearing the
end of his comic life.

steve didn't name the Mac, Jef Raskin did... because it was his favorite
"eat'in" apple.

apple has it spelled incorrectly for legal reasons, the real fruit is
called McIntosh... not Macintosh... duh!
