The Clan of Mackintosh "So the Apple Macintosh was named for the apple McIntosh, which was named for the Scotsman, McIntosh, who came from a long line of McIntoshes, dating back to the third Earl of Fife, who in 1429, actually spelled his name Mackintosh (from Mac-an-Toisch, which means "Son of the Thane or Chief"). But no matter how you spell it, Mackintosh, McIntosh, or Macintosh, the origins all trace back to the original Scottish clan (see Figure 5)." ----------- So while I think I've now been educated on the respective nomenclature, I do believe that I'll take to the side line before I drop even deeper in it.
