It's "nouns". And any professional who has worked in the technical
writing field knows you are flat-out wrong on this. "iMac" is a
registered trademark, which makes it a proper adjective for "computer",
the product. Apple sells iMac computers.

Maybe that's the problem.

I seriously doubt that. I've worked in and with large technical
documentation teams for many years, and you're just plain wrong on this.

Michelle was nice enough to provide a link that you should find
enlightening. You can ignore it and look more foolish than you already
do, or admit you're wrong and maybe gain a little bit of respect back.

Only a fool would automatically assume everyone here is semi-literate.
