Ahh, I'm starting to get it now.

You have to understand that my knowledge of Apple|Macintosh|???|???? is very
limited. All I have that is related are my Newtons'. So I have always
wondered what the difference between Apple and Macintosh really was...

Something like this? Apple is the company, Macintosh/Newton/what else are
product families and then there are the products like iMac? Can someone fill
in some more items to make this more clear?

Apple
 -Macintosh
        -Quadra
        -Performa
        -iMac
 -PowerPC
 -Newton
 -

Paul - keep it simple OK. I am referring to the fact that Apple made
products other than Macintosh computers and therefore not every product
Apple makes is a Macintosh computer. Just like an automobile
manufacture makes more than just cars, some make trucks, some make
motorcycles, some make all sorts of random stuff. The Newton is a
platform of its own, its not a Mac, just as a LaserWriter, also made by
Apple, is not a Macintosh, its a printer ... following the "the Newton
is an Apple, the Mac is an Apple, therefore the Newton is a Mac" logic
that people were using, it would mean that a LaserWriter printer is
also a Mac. Pretty silly.
