giggle. Great guesses though.

A agraffe is the wiring that holds things together like the wiring over a champagne cork or the wiring that holds rocks together when constructing a barrier wall.

Google from this spelling is a search engine BUT

Googol (where the company got it's name from) is a number with 100 zeros.

Is that what you were looking for?

No I didn't google the answer!!! It was obvious when you think of it....
Greek -fear of strangers = xenophobia.

The Macintosh project started in the late 1970s with Jef Raskin, an Apple employee, who envisioned an easy-to-use, low-cost computer for the average consumer. He wanted to name the computer after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh, but the name had to be changed for legal reasons.[

Very close am impressed,

The name was chosen, because the Macintosh was the largest selling Apple in the state at that time, the name is used with a license from the largest of this fruit grower, Apple Inc have tried to purchase the rights to the name but so far have not succeeded,
