Playing "The Devil's Advocate" here.

In my mind, Macs are not PCs.

My wife's 1978 Jeep came new with a Ford Bronco engine, Jeep used to get whatever they could from whoever they could, but it doesn't make her Jeep a Ford.

Smart phones are phones and not PCs. Tablets, even those running Windows are not PCs. They are computers, but they are phones and tablets.

Technically Macs and PCs are both Microcomputers.

And I do remember my first Mac running on a Motorola chip, years before the Power PC chip, which I believe was built by IBM, the same people that built the first PCs (IBM branded their microcomputers, "Personal Computers" thus the PC.)

Now it doesn't matter to me if the Mac guys want to think they are PCs, but I still like one noun to tell the difference.

For years you could say PC and you knew you were talking about Intel Chips and Windows - and you could say Mac and you knew you were talking about a computer that is running the Mac OS.

Why change that?

So if it's OK calling a Mac a Personal Computer (IBM trade name for a computer running Microsoft on Intel chips) then you should be able to call my ThinkPad a Mac. Pretty stupid.

We use names to tell the difference.
