I'm guessing you have a Scottish name?
I have a Scottish name and have long since given up getting people to spell it correctly.
Even Scots get it wrong.

It's not hard to work out - take a look at my user name - I do have a Scottish name and it's spelt Mc not Mac.
I find it very hard to believe people who tell me that all Mc's are Irish and all Mac's are Scots.

Why should your user name give a clue?
You coming across as rude.

Indeed! Only a few generations back, the spelling of names was at the whim of the minister or registrar who recorded the birth/marriage/death and it was entirely possible to be born as a Mc and die as a Mac (or vice versa!).

and die as a Mac (or vice versa!).

All my Apple loving friends assure me that a Mac never dies, unlike products associated with the evil empire. It is a revelation to find out that they are Scottish though, if anything I would have assumed it was the other sort that came from north of the border, that little checkerboard design looks vaguely tartan.

I'm not so sure that Macs never die.

My daughter has three. One works well, one works, one doesn't work. I understand there is some kind of embargo on reporting any defect in an Apple product, which is why you rarely hear about them failing. My previous iPhone became very sick after upgrading to version 5 of the operating system. I now have a replacement, daughter 1 has the original. Apple to this day are in denial about the "problem" although their website is well stocked with complaints from unhappy punters.

I buried a Mac last year. He was 92 and had had a good innings. Different sort of Mac, though.

Interesting, I'm on the cusp of needing a new piece of serious kit and toying with switching allegiance. I love iPhones but can't justify the expense. I run two super cheap pay as you go basics to avoid extortionate international roaming charges and can't justify a "plan" anywhere. My iPad on the other hand is my best ever toy.

It is absolutely not my intention to be rude and I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused.
My comment was supposed to be humorous but clearly I missed the mark, sorry.

My username is my initial and the beginning of my last name, that's all I meant.

Thank you for your reply.

I am sorry if I misunderstood you.
