No. The Macintosh division of Apple was started in the early 80's in the aftermath of the Lisa project. See "Insanely Great" by Steven Levy, and this <http://folklore.org/index.py> by the folks who made the Mac. Steve Jobs ran the Mac division sort of as a company within a company, but it was ALWAYS Apple. You MAY be conflating the issue of Macintosh (the computer made by Apple) versus McIntosh (the audio amplifier people), which was simply a name copyright issue. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
