A generic PC is often known as a Wintel box. So, is a generic Mac running Intel a Mactel?

you know the story circulating around... apple and intel together. a trademark application seems to solidify the deal further... but choosing mactel??? apple is known for creativity, but seems like mactel is not too creative a trademark for me, but that's just me. http://news.com.com/..._3-5746741.html

if you were steve jobs, what term would you use to describe (in conversation) the upcoming intel-based macs? still mactel???

Yeah man, mactel ?...
sounds almost stupid, like a small electronics shop around the corner...

I would say something completly new, like for instance IM and the slogan: IM Power, IM Speed, IM ...
eheheh

Intosh sounds as stupid as mactel but if mactel it is, it will be in the mouths of millions for sure...
eheheh

Mactel.. HAHAHA! Sounds like what a telephone program for the Macintosh would be - Mactel - mac telephone, get it?

As much as Mactel sounds funny, there's no doubt it'll be a household name in the near future. I do like nonon's suggestion of IM, though.
