A highly successful line of personal computers designed by Apple Computers. Called a "Mac" for short, Macintosh computers, with their operating system called "System", practically pioneered the graphical user interface. Using a system of a desktop work area and icons to represent files, Macs were a long-time favorite for people wanting ease-of-use and a visual interface. Although they are hated by some since they are 'new' and 'backwards' to most Windows users. Currently the Forum has three, Silver Surfer, Jan, and Zana, which have been very useful for Forumites who have forgotten about that paper due in the next hour.

Turtle, Karen Todd and JC are Macintosh enthusiasts.
