Why are mac computers called macs?
A Mac is called a Mac because it's short for Macintosh. The lead designer on the project was Jef Raskin, whose favorite apple is the McIntosh. Apple Legal decided to change the spelling because McIntosh is a brand of very fancy audio equipment. PC is short for "Personal Computer." In the 1970s and early 1980s we said a "home computer" was a very small desktop that would be good for games and homework, and a "personal computer" was something you'd have at work. IBM decided to call its new computer the "IBM Personal Computer." That's what the label said. Naturally, everyone abbreviated Personal Computer to "PC," and later the "IBM" part got dropped. I much prefer the terms "Mac" and "Windows box" but some people don't agree..
