   McIntosh Labs, producer of some really nifty high-end audio gear (tube
   amps and the like).

   Note that it's even spelled differently, it just *sounds* alike. Bizarre.

Actually, I can always tell the difference by how the name is pronounced.

With "Macintosh", the voice carries either extreme childish idol-worship,
utter contempt, or greed (since it now represents something of a viable
market for certain kinds of software).

With "McIntosh", the voice carries only utter awe.

Makes me wonder why I own two Macintoshes and no McIntoshes!  Maybe when
I sell one or both of my Macintoshes, I might consider buying a McIntosh.
