Also seen in Canada: Granny Smith and McIntosh.
And yes, I saw the "McIntosh" Apple ][ clones before the arrival of the
Macintosh. :)
I kind of wish I had bough a McIntosh rather than my Microcom clone, just
for the name. But Microcom had a large store nearby, with good support.
I don't know where the McIntosh and Granny Smith clones were coming from.
In Italy there
was Lemon computer building Apple-clones.
Has anyone heard about them?
Were they actually called 'Lemon's'? That
certainly doesn't have a
positive
connotation in North America!
In Canada, a company built Apple II clones called 'Pineapples'.
There were probably other fruit-named clones as well! --
