I believe the "Sparcintosh" is just a nickname, referring to Sun's new Unix
computers coming out next month, with a more "user friendly" interface (hence,
the '-intosh').

BTW, they had an article in the New York Times last week about Apple and Sun
going head-to-head.  Basically NYT's assessment (for whatever it's worth) is
that Apple is going for style and speed, while Sun is going for speed.
