 I would be interested in the agreement between McIntosh (the hi fi firm)
 and Apple regarding the Macintosh name.  I guess probably the reason
 that the hi fi company got the agreement was because the names are 
 so similar, and there is the possibility for confusion in the 
 consumer electronics market.  

 I wonder if the hi fi company got a set fee, or whether they have a 
 per-item sold arrangement.  If they just got a buck for every machine
 sold, that would still ring up to a hefty chunck of change considering
 the number of Macs out there.
