Best Answer

The Mackintosh raincoat was named for its inventor, Charles Macintosh of Scotland. Despite the spelling of his last name, the coat is universally spelt with the letter "k".

The Macintosh computer (without a "k") was named for the apple variety of that name, playing on the company's name Apple Computers.
