user: My printer doesn't work.
tech: Well, I see the problem, it's a Mac printer...

Responding to David Ensteness's comment:
||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.
