Thank goodness the model names are not completely up to the marketing department. Otherwise, we'd end up with Super PowerMac Turbo 3000. 😀

The word powermac is bad enough. Back in the mid 90's, power used to be on everything. Power2-4, PowerPC, Powermac, Powerbook, "The Power to be Your Best," the Apple PowerCD, the Powerpuff Girls 😉.

Personally, I think SuperMegaUltraGigaMac sounds better 😀
