I don't know at what point Apple settled on its non-standard spelling for the product, but it might well have been after this article was written.

Edited to add from wikipedia:
“Apple Inc. employee Jef Raskin named the Macintosh line of personal computers after the McIntosh. He deliberately misspelled the name to avoid conflict with the hi-fi equipment manufacturer McIntosh Laboratory. Apple's attempt in 1982 to trademark the name Macintosh was nevertheless denied due to the phonetic similarity between Apple's product and the name of the hi-fi manufacturer. Apple licensed the rights to the name in 1983, and bought the trademark in 1986.”

Unsurprisingly the price doesn't seem to be listed on their site.
They'll probably program it in "C", and then in the 1990s move on to JAVA, with some software in PERL.
Then it was mostly in C++.
Apple platforms never were big C fans.
Ah, but were they "C" fans?
Never mind. My joke apparently went over everyone's head.
No, it wasn't, but it gets called that often enough for me to have made a joke about it.
