Jobs originally called his new Mac design an iMac to let potential 
customers believe that it was the best computer with which to connected 
to the magical entity known as the Internet. The naming scheme was so 
successful that he used it for the iPod and eventually the iBook. After 
time, it became synonymous with Apple, regardless of how illogical it is.
