Who’s Your Mac Daddy?

By C.K. Sample, III

On The O.C., a perhaps overly dramatized paternity test proved that super-nice Lindsay's biological father was, in fact, the evil Caleb; this,
unfortunately, sent Lindsay running for Chicago and left the heart-broken Ryan to fall back into the underfed arms of Marissa to the dismay of fans everywhere. Why do I mention this?  Because I'm obsessed with The O.C. and playing "who's your daddy?" is a fun game to play that gets lots of ratings for shows like The O.C..

Paul Andrews of The Seattle Times covers the lack of paternity testing for the Macintosh in a recent article,
Macintosh paternity woven in Web. He points out that most people used to agree that Steve Jobs was the Daddy of Mac, since he was the one who brought it to market, whereas the recent news of Jef Raskin's death has placed him at the front of any Google searches for "Father of the Macintosh."  So,
TUAW readers, who is your Mac Daddy of choice?  Steve, the guy who brought Macintosh to market, or Jef, the guy who named the Macintosh?
