[CS-FSLUG] A little advice, please

['Mash]

Afternoon, 

I am not sure how many people know this , but I didn't.
I asked myself a question at work today, " Where did Apple Macintosh"
get its name from.
Here is the answer for those who didn't know.

"Jef Raskin, a computer scientist, is credited with naming the Apple
Macintosh, a computer system, after the fruit."

McIntosh

This article is about the apple; there is also the small town of
McIntosh, Alabama

For information about the hi-fi manufacturer, see McIntosh Laboratory

The McIntosh (Mac) is an apple cultivar with red and green skin, a
tart flavor and tender, white flesh. It becomes ripe in late
September. It is traditionally the most popular cultivar in New
England, well known for the pink sauce unpeeled McIntoshes make. Many
consider it a superior eating apple and well suited for applesauce,
cider, and pies.

The McIntosh apple was developed from the trees in the orchard of John
McIntosh near Dundela, in southeastern Ontario (near Williamsburg and
Prescott). He transplanted wild saplings in 1801, which were nurtured
and developed into commercial potential over the next few decades by
his son.

Offspring include the firmer Macoun (a Jersey Black cross), Spartan
apple (a Newtown Pippin cross), Cortland, Empire, Jonamac, maybe Paula
Red, Jersey Mac, and others.

Jef Raskin, a computer scientist, is credited with naming the Apple
Macintosh, a computer system, after the fruit.
