First off, any computer Apple makes is by definition an Apple computer. So to
make your argument make any sense, you must be trying to claim that any 
computer without "Apple" in the name isn't an Apple computer.
I don't agree. I can name several kinds of Chevrolet cars that don't explicitly
say "Chevrolet" on the outside. They're still Chevies since Chevy made 'em.
Ditto with Apple, any computer with the rainbow Apple logo is an Apple computer
just as any car with the Chevrolet bowtie is a Chevy. Moreover, Chevy has only
made one car ever with Chevrolet as part of its name, the Chevy II Nova, later
shortened to Chevy Nova.

Which you didn't so hot a job of doing, to the bewilderment of who you think
you were helping.
