Ok, so it should be the McIntosh Apple.  What I mean is, if you were
choosing between eating an apple named after Jonathan and one named after
McIntosh, you would say, "I'd like to eat that *McIntosh Apple*."
Does that make sense?

Speaking of eating apples, when is Commodore gonna 'eat' Apple's sales?
